Remember the million dollar pixel site (you'd own a pixel on the site)? This reminds me of it, I love it.

This is crazy. I left you an upvote. When did you launch?

A few days ago. Originally i started the site in 2024, but then closed it not long after.

A few weeks ago i then asked my friend about whether i could make a mil out of it if i started it again. So i launched it again just for the fun of it, but somehow it gained traction.

I'm honestly so greatful for the $5k. I really didnt believe i would even get a dollar out of it

I posted a few places, and got really lucky that it somehow reached the right audience

The most entertaining outcome is the most likely.

Why? If there is a betting market for it and it works out, it won't be just you making money.

While some people can't afford to have their own place to live, others apparently have too much money. Sigh.

Good luck to you though!
