Advertisers
Bid live for the most-watched spinner on Earth.
Each block buys 1,000 impressions on the surface you select. Every impression targets 10 continuous seconds on screen; measured dwell from 9.5 seconds qualifies under a bounded timer/reporting tolerance. Bid from $0.50 to set your campaign’s priority on that surface. The developer whose machine showed the ad earns from every settled block.
