A short story, told in four years.

Beginning
The first zone goes live.
Founded under CrankySRL. The first ad zones ship; the first publishers get paid before the year is out.
-
Scaling
The page network expands.
Volume crosses 100M monthly visits. First partnerships with AdsLeading and Adsterra ship. The dashboard is rewritten.
-
Peak
500M monthly visits.
Peak operations. The platform routes over half a billion visits a month with a team you could count on one hand.
-
Goodbye
A clean shutdown.
Operations are wound down with every partner paid in full. The team folds back into CrankySRL to keep building.
The companies that trusted us with their traffic.

From everyone who ever shipped a line of CrankyADS.
We started CrankyADS to do one thing well: move attention honestly, and pay people fast. For three years that’s exactly what it did. Half a billion visits a month flowed through this thing, and almost no one ever talked about it — which, frankly, is how we liked it.
To every publisher who pressed publish, every advertiser who trusted a buy, and every partner who sent us a contract before we’d earned it — thank you. We closed the doors in 2022, but the work goes on at CrankySRL, and the lessons are everywhere.
The work continues at CrankySRL.
Everything we learned routing half a billion visits a month now lives on at our parent company. New tools, same crew, same care.
