What advertisers pay for inside your IDE (without popups)

Auction mechanics, CPM-style bids, and why dev-tool brands want spinner inventory.

Advertisers don't buy "developers" as a demographic blob. They buy moments of intent.

Spinner = waiting = cognitive pause = readable line of text.

Economics (simplified):

We block sketchy categories. Dev trust is inventory.

If you're a brand: you're not buying popups. You're buying a single native line in the AI wait state. Launch a campaign →.

If you're a dev: you're the supply side. Keep 60% →.

Install free. Keep 60%.
