The landing nails the pitch — enormous headline, neon dollar and a single clear CTA make the product instantly understandable. The form intelligently asks age (with a generation-based estimate), country and daily screen time so the friction is minimal; the tradeoff is that the site leans on industry averages without publishing the underlying rates. Useful for a quick viral stat or awareness piece, but it needs a transparent methodology and per-channel breakdowns to feel rigorous.
