About
Anti-ads, pushed as far into real advertising as they can get. It starts with leaflets and full pages in independent papers, then paid print, then posters & billboards, perhaps a mainstream ad- slot. Each placement is documented.
Impact
Nobody can be argued awake. These are practical jokes played in public, at full production quality: believable enough to get inside, wrong enough to trigger the check. Wtf, is this real? That double-take is the wake-up. Funding builds believability.
Progress
I'm an anti-ads creator: hackathon prize last year, private commissions, printed physically at DWeb 2026. What remains is creating anti-ad campaigns at scale: the funded infrastructure that takes a joke into its IPO. Website coming soon!

Season totals as displayed on the platform's public accounting — not a statement of amounts paid out. V2 = Venus sales + Venus extras. The original page also broke each season down by fund drive and showed an Available (unclaimed) balance; that level of detail survives only on the preserved snapshots.
