Brands keep paying for ads that work, so how long an ad has run is the signal. - "Days running" counts from the ad's start date in the Meta Ad Library to the day this page was measured. "Versions" is how many variations of the same ad the brand made. - A brand gets its own page once 3 or more of its ads qualify. Each ad links to its page in the Meta Ad Library, where the creative itself can be seen. ## FAQ **What ads is The Rundown running on Facebook and Instagram?** 3 ads qualify this week: “Here are 3 tips for Claude that I wish someone had told me sooner.” (podcast clip, 164 days); “Um, the biggest problem with AI right now is that everyone thinks ChatGPT is all there is...” (podcast clip, 145 days); “This is gonna sound insane, but over 2 million professionals from companies like Apple, Google, and NASA read this AI newsletter every...” (lifestyle, 27 days).
