Caveats
9
Meta Ad Library was searched logged-out by keyword
All 3 dissected ads are about other Bluey products (anomaly flag)
EU reach and spend were not read; the TikTok library only covers the EU and returned 0
Apple Search Ads and Google app campaigns have no public library; their share is a guess
Instagram was not collected (no profiles)
Creator counts are likes shown on TikTok cards, not views
Estimated shares are my rough estimate from thin evidence, not stated by any source
No founder quotes, podcast transcripts on the app or press on its acquisition were found
Reddit threads are mostly unrelated to the app

Paid: every active ad found for the advertiser in the Meta Ad Library with start date and variant count as Meta publishes them; videos fetched for analysis only and deleted after frames, transcript and OCR were derived; one model read per creative into a fixed schema. Organic: public profile counts only. Creators count only when a caption tags, links or names the app (graded per creator). Founder statements quoted verbatim and checked by code. Estimates labelled and linked. Not affiliated with the app or its publisher.
