The internet keeps inventing new ways to make money out of thin air.
Ad space on a toilet, a leaderboard where the price is your rank, one million pixels at a dollar each: every one of them raises the same question.
More info
Does it really make money? The boards below answer that, and they keep the answer after a project stops. Live tracking starts with the pay-to-rank wave of August 2026, the older cases are on the History page.
Imagine an airport: Every project here is a flight. Some are already taking off, some are still boarding, some never left the ground.
Which ideas fly, and which never leave the ground?
The pay-to-rank wave of 2026 has passed its peak, and somewhere the next idea is already being built. Weird Revenue is here to catch it, and the one after that, each with the number and the proof beside it. Come back whenever you wonder whether something new actually makes money.
A public list where the highest bid holds the top spot until someone pays more.
Why it works: The people who get pushed down post about it. The losers do the marketing, and the ledger makes every loss visible.

Ad space on a real toilet, projected on, sold until the counter says one million.
Why it works: Every sponsor becomes a video, and "King of the Throne" makes the highest payer compete. The first six sponsors paid 2,417 dollars on average, the last six 8,833.

The 2005 pixel page again, with a price that rises as the grid fills.
Why it works: A $42 ad on another project in this list brought the viral day. A rising price rewards early buyers and gives every step a post.

A share of a digital billboard on a real Lamborghini, for the life of the car. One sponsor so far.
Why it works: One sponsor, $25,000, and it may be the creator’s own company. The visible counter shows $0 until JavaScript runs; the real value sits in an accessibility attribute.

One dollar makes a red button one pixel wider, forever. It does nothing.
Why it works: No viral moment and no press. A permanent name on a wall for one dollar sells every day anyway.

Ten sponsor slots on a directory that had 80,000 views before it had a sponsor page.
Why it works: Traffic first, then scarcity on ten slots. The price went from $299 to $2,500 in one month without a single ad for the ads.

Buy a country on a world map. Anyone can take it for 1.5 times your bid.
Why it works: Forced escalation: every takeover is 50 percent dearer than the last, and being thrown out of a country is a post.

Fifteen muscles auctioned as tattoo space for one HYROX race. $112,000 in three days.
Why it works: The surface is a person with an audience of 395,000, and the price ladder doubles instead of creeping: a takeover costs twice what the last buyer paid, so every outbid is a headline.
