I built PayRank because I wanted to experiment with a simple question: what if online attention had a transparent price instead of being controlled by algorithms?
So I built a public leaderboard where websites, products, creators, and projects compete for the top spot by bidding.
No algorithm. No votes. No complicated scoring — **just the price.**
This is an early experiment, and I’m launching it to see what happens when ranking becomes something you can actually compete for.
I’d love to hear what you think: Would you pay to put your project at #1? Why or why not ?
