In case you haven’t scrolled through Facebook, walked past a television, Googled a presidential candidate or watched a YouTube video recently, you should know: Mike Bloomberg wants your vote for president. The billionaire’s self-funded campaign has flooded the airwaves, search results and social media with his ads, helping to propel him into a tie for third place in The Washington Post’s polling average and land a spot on the debate stage Wednesday.

This year, Google and Facebook have served up 2 billion Bloomberg ads, which works out to 30,000 a minute. Of course, the number probably dips when people are offline and rises during big primary events that Bloomberg advertises around. Since joining the race in November, he has outspent all other candidates combined on Google by more than $10 million.

Mike Bloomberg’s spending on digital and TV, $233 million.

1. TV ads

2. It is about three miles to the YMCA I swim at. Monday I heard a Bloomberg ad on the radio

on the way there and another on the way back. None yesterday because I took the car with Sirius/XM.
