        <i>Billions and billions and billions</i> of impressions (or as we call
        them, <i>glances</i>) had engaged users tuning in every day, and made
        2024 a <b>YUUUGE</b> year for those who glance. Interests varied, and
        key categories of politics, entertainment and gaming had impressive
        engagement world over, keeping audiences local and international hooked
        through the year. Upskilling was the name of the game, with users
        getting their lewks on, eyeliner in one hand, and their best cosplay of

        was influxed with Halloween costumes that took the internet by storm.
        The weather forecast for all of October was glance storms: clocking in
        glances of 255 billion. In dolla dolla bills, that’s more than the net
        worth of the world’s second-largest billionaire!
