What does this change?

Open up the article-end ad slot for Header Bidding instead of the exclusivity of Public Good. This slot exists in US region and the user should be in the variant, now we have a 0% test.

Why?

We want to test if this slot will have a revenue from programmatic as Public Good will be moved to Direct Sponsorship which will be setup by AdOps.

How has this change been tested?

Tested locally and in CODE.

Make sure you are in US with a VPN and check the changes in https://theguardian.com/ab-tests/opt-in/commercial-article-end-header-bidding:variant

The Prebid request won't happen if we are serving an epic but if we meet all conditions and no epic to be served then a request will be made even if no bids were successful and the slot collapses.
