How this works: eligible impressions = DAU × requests/day × 30 × visibility × wait-time factor × market-demand factor. The wait-time factor reaches 100% at 8 seconds. The market-demand factor ranges from 70% to 130% as the Tier-1 share changes from 0% to 100%. Subscription and affiliate figures use the assumptions you enter and should be treated as planning scenarios.

Disclaimer: All earnings figures are estimates based on publicly available data and early user reports. Not financial advice. Verify terms, payout status, and ToS on each platform's official site before installing anything.
