About

In August 2026 pay-to-rank leaderboards became the idea of the week. Pay more than the person above you, take the top spot, dare somebody to take it back. It is a good idea and it deserved the attention it got.

There was just one rule worth arguing with: bids were permanent. Nothing was ever consumed, so the price of #1 could only ever rise. Within days the top spot on the original board passed twelve thousand dollars, and several hundred listings underneath it had quietly become decoration. Every one of those people had paid for attention and been left holding a placement instead.

So this board drains

A bid here is a balance rather than a purchase. It loses half its power every twenty-four hours, and every click your listing earns spends a little more of what is left, because the clicks are the thing you actually came for. Run the balance down and the listing falls off. Nobody camps at the top, and the top keeps falling back within reach of whoever wants it next.

Launched 21 August 2026. Everything here is public, including the parts that are unflattering: the stats page is open, and every listing shows exactly what it has paid per click.

Credit where due: outbid.lol did it first. This is one rule changed, not a reinvention.
