Aura Farmers: The Board Is Closed
A leaderboard documenting a seven-hour social experiment in which 100 participants started from zero and competed for “aura.”
Why it surfaced
The site turns inequality into a specific, public spectacle: it claims that five people held three quarters of the total after seven hours, then preserves the ranking, participant handles, and their wonderfully opaque remarks. With a manifesto, a frozen board, and links out to X, it feels less like a product than a compact internet artifact.
