Every hot Meta creative pitches Devin, not the Windsurf editor. Search still sells Windsurf.
A comment-gate moves viewers off-platform before any click. Links arrive by direct message.
Six creator pages run the Meta buy, five unnamed. Ad disclosure is inconsistent.

Read the full read-out
Windsurf runs an almost single-format library on Meta: 86% of the 417 creatives observed are video. A concentration that high usually means one production pipeline and one creative template being iterated, rather than a portfolio of formats tested against each other.
1 creatives launched in the previous seven days, about 0% of the library. That is steady replacement rather than a burst, with enough new material to keep frequency down without rebuilding the account each week.
Paid traffic is split across 3 landing paths in the sampled creatives, led by /. Separate destinations per creative usually mean separate offers or separate audiences, and it is the clearest signal in a public library that an advertiser is segmenting rather than pushing everyone to one page.
Windsurf partnership ads
342 ads across 17 creator and publisher pages.
