Peppy — February 2026
Provocative. Confident. The inversion starts here.
You produce the most valuable commodity on earth. You've never been paid for it.
What the advertising industry takes from one person, per year
| What They Take | Value | What You Get |
|---|---|---|
| Your time (TV, radio, billboards) | ~$400 | $0 |
| Your data (clicks, cookies, profiles) | ~$235 (Meta alone) | $0 |
| Your prediction (AI models your future behaviour) | ~$400+ | $0 |
| Total extracted | > $1,000/yr | $0 |
In any other market, the supplier gets paid. You're the supplier. You get nothing.
| Channel | Spend | Measured? |
|---|---|---|
| Search | $200B+ | Every click tracked |
| Social | $165B+ | Every view tracked |
| Display | $150B+ | Every impression tracked |
| Billboards | $42B+ | Brand awareness |
Forty-two billion dollars of advertising. Not one dollar provably connected to one person.

What if you could prove — cryptographically — that a specific person was physically present in front of a specific billboard at a specific time?
And what if that person got paid for being there?
