Build content that a sub-culture would obsess over reaches your one mixed feed — until the fleet changes the arithmetic.

The number you watch

Return on ad spend falls as owned reach grows, because owned accounts don't re-charge per impression. TIDE runs the fleet of real iPhones; you watch the metric move.
