I work in programmatic advertising. I built a tool that shows you how much the ad industry has spent targeting you personally.

No data collected. No cookies. GoatCounter for anonymous pageviews only, open source and cookieless.

The irony is intentional.

@godlesssaint damn, $34K spent to reach me, too bad that I've been using browser and device-wide website blocking, including ads. I genuinely haven't seen an in-game or web advertisement on my phone in a few years at this point.

@godlesssaint
/me chuckles in been online since before pop-up ads were a thing.

Think it skews on early advertising, though. Giving me numbers for the early 90s when pretty much all advertising was still physical.

@Hakuso the tool adjusts ad density by era so it's not applying 2025 rates to the dial-up days. also added an option to set when you actually went online instead of assuming age 13.
