Meta Ad Library logged-out search returned 0 ads; this does not show Meta spend is zero
TikTok ads are from the EU/UK/CH library only; US ads are not covered
Google Ads Transparency Center was blocked at collection
Instagram profiles were not collected; hashtag posts on #status are unrelated
TikTok counts are card counts, not verified views; most creator posts show 0
No account is marked VERIFIED as the app's own; all are treated as creator accounts
Reddit returned 0 threads
Only 15 organic posts were dissected, 6 of which do not mention the app
Share estimates are rough and labelled as estimates; no source states a channel split
Chart ranks are a single snapshot from 2026-07-30

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.
