Since then a million other "million _____" websites popped up. I saw a site selling one million text lines for $1 apiece. Last I saw they sold one line, now the site is gone [edit: INCORRECT].

Found the site: https://www.themillionlines.com/

Why would anyone go to that site however? I mean novelty, once...but didn't advertising figure out ages ago that number of eyes on something matters?
