mobile app installs - everyone says run ads but the offers suck

[Gaze]

tired of reading about running fb ads on app installs. the actual problem is finding the offer. i tried a few networks and its either outdated low pay cpi or offers that have zero volume. looking at mobidea and mobipium as a comparison. mobidea dashboard is a mess but iirc they have some direct app deals. mobipium feels cleaner but everything seems to be a content locker which is junk now.
what actually works. where are you guys finding decent cpi on mobile apps like utilities or finance that actually have a payout over $2. idk maybe direct but im not there yet. is it just a volume game on low quality traffic now? someone give a real answer not the same run ads advice.

I actually found some decent finance offers on a niche CPA network that's been paying over 3 dollars a lead, but the volume isn't huge. Content lockers aren't dead, just harder to find legit ones that convert. I think it's less about the network and more about the offer quality and targeting.

tbh mobidea's offer list is a mess but they do have some direct app deals, just gotta dig. mobipium's content lockers are meh but they got some legit offers if u chase the right niches. volume's key now but u gotta test and stay sharp, don't just rely on content lockers or generic offers.

bruh, true but finding good offers with legit payouts over 2 bucks and decent volume feels like hunting for unicorns these days. gotta chase the right traffic, but honestly, volume just means more junk traffic too. so, what's the sweet spot?

 

[Now]

so are we just stuck with junk traffic or is there a legit way to filter the good stuff? lol volume's supposed to be king but sometimes it just means more crap flooding in. what's your secret sauce to find quality?

careful with chasing high payouts rn, most of that stuff is either dead or super competitive, i found a few utils paying decent but you gotta be quick.

just my 2 cents: direct deals can pay better but they're rare and hard to find, like maybe 10-15% of the time. usually you gotta dig thru their offers daily and build relationships. don't expect quick wins but it's sometimes the only way to get over 2 bucks cpi on legit stuff.
