Been noticing a few of these "developer ad networks" popping up recently.
Idlen, AIBC and a few others i saw etc.
The premise is pretty simple that they state:
- Developers spend all day in VS Code / Cursor
- Startups want developer eyeballs
- Put ads where developers already are
At first I thought it sounded unrealistic.
Then I realised developer attention is probably one of the most valuable audiences on the internet.
Curious if anyone has actually advertised on any of these?
Do they convert?
Or is this just another bubble thing that'll disappear?
