Get paid to wait The Claude Code spinner might be the most watched line on Earth. So I turned it into an ad marketplace. Advertisers bid on it. You keep 50% of the money. Install the extension → get cash from ads. Introducing Kickbacks

kickbacks.ai My latest ultra-high-effort shitposting project. It started as a joke, but then actually turned out to be kind of genius?
It was such an obvious idea in hindsight, I can't believe no one ever did it An ad in the context window feels wrong, it breaks your trust. But one outside is totally fine. The vibes are 100x better
At current rates it easily pays for an entire subscription plan per month. I think it'll be north of $1/agent window/hour
Works in both Claude Code Extension, Claude Code CLI, and Codex
Of course Fable did the entire video from end to end. All HTML, absolutely amazing
@trq212The funniest outcome here is that xAI buys all the ad space to be displayed in Claude and Codex 😂
People realizing how valuable their eyeballs were
j shaped revenue curves. god i hope i can pay for my Fable costs
*narrator voiceover* as it turned it, people liked the ads, they wanted more ads
i'm literally discovering services to use through my own advertisers, this is kind of awesome. box.ascii.dev
we just crossed 100k adds purchased for the queue
1,000+ visits per min at the site 🤑
This is hilarious, I am seeing all your ads in my own VS code (of course)
It would be so funny if this just became the default way the labs introduce ads 😂
The market dynamics are going to be really interesting, it might be the first time the supply/demand book for ads has been a totally public auction?
You guys hit all the safety limits on earnings per hour. Deploying new backend now with limits set to $100 per day, I never expected the price to get this high, this is insane.

The bad news is you're going to get a cease and desist from Anthropic. The good news is you're going to get hired by OpenAI. Congrats on the new role! Say hi to
@steipetewhen you get there.
