Show HN: Outbid.to, a pay-to-win leaderboard for websiteshttps://www.outbid.to/I built outbid.to as a simple experiment in transparent paid discovery.Submit a website, place a whole-dollar bid, and your bid determines your rank. The highest bidder takes #1. If someone outbids you, your listing moves down but stays live.There are no hidden ranking factors or editorial decisions. The minimum bid is $2, payments are handled through Stripe, and each listing shows the traffic it receives.I’m curious whether an openly pay-to-win leaderboard can be more useful and entertaining than traditional ads or sponsored directories.Would appreciate feedback on the ranking mechanics, pricing, and anything that feels unclear.Aug 20, 2026 4:52 PM

I'm so f-n tired of the Internet It has become the worst placehttps://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49361760Today, my 3-year-old Reddit account has been banned for no reason. They deleted all my posts and comments as well. Yesterday, the website I invested years of my time in SEO into was nuked by Google and lost its position overnight due to new anti-spam policies that rolled in. A month ago, on another project, I missed an email from a payment processing provider and lost payments and all revenue, only because Gmail put the most important email in spam. Nothing works well in this fucking shthle. I'm sick of that.Aug 19, 2026 2:02 PM
