I've been tracking the adoption of the OWNERDOMAIN and MANAGERDOMAIN variables from Ads.txt 1.1 since it was released on August, and it's not looking great. Adoption is clearly leveling off at very low rates.

Note that these numbers are for sites that have (app-)ads.txts in the top 100k of the Tranco list. Looking at all sites in Well-Known is even worse.
