Why you can trust the number
Every block costs us money
A block only appears after we have bought real inference for that developer. Serving one is an expense, so we have no reason to inflate the count — unlike a network where printing an impression costs nothing.
Nothing to fake cheaply
There is no pixel to fire and no page to load. Manufacturing an impression means burning metered compute behind a GitHub account older than thirty days.
It arrives inside the answer
Not below the fold, not in a sidebar, not in an iframe that never scrolled into view. It is in the reply they asked for and are already reading.
Why we do not publish a click rate
A block in a terminal is read, not clicked — the same way a conference backdrop or a podcast read is not clicked. Quoting a rate invites judging a brand placement by a direct-response standard it was never built to meet.
Sponsors get the full picture privately: delivery, distinct reach, clicks and the day-by-day curve for their week. It is simply not something we broadcast — about them or about ourselves.
Take a week
Five seven-day slots on an ascending ladder. The first sponsor to commit pays the least.
