Who leans on it hardest

Volume and commitment are different questions. These are the advertisers for whom it is the largest share of their own library, rather than the ones who simply run the most ads overall.

In their own words

The bucket above is ours; the wording below is the advertiser's, taken verbatim from the ad and counted across the library. The same deal is worth reading in the words the market actually uses for it.

Every offer type in the library by volume; this page's in orange.

Offer type is grouped from the verbatim offer text on each creative by a rule set, not a platform field, so a creative with no readable offer is counted in the denominator and appears on no page. Every figure is a count from the analysed creatives, not an estimate. There is no spend, impression or performance data in the source and none is inferred.
