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 leaderboard of AI models, ranked by how much fans paid into each one.
Why it works: Cumulative instead of competitive, and frozen after two days.

Four corners of every TranslateMom video, auctioned to four brands for a month. All four bid within four hours.
Why it works: The inventory is attention that already exists: the videos get made whether or not anyone sponsors them, so the corner costs the creator nothing and the buyer knows the view count in advance.

No algorithm, no votes, no reviews. Your position is the sum of everything you ever paid.
Why it works: A counter that states its own time window ("in 122h"), which most boards do not.

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.
