A pay-to-rank homepage game where buying a slot removes the person currently holding it.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-22 issue.

Why it surfaced

The site turns online status anxiety into a brutally legible product: ten permanent ranks, bids starting at $2, and every purchase ejecting someone rather than simply moving you upward. Its copy is unusually committed to the bit, from “Second is still first loser” to the $5 bench for people who want exposure without getting dethroned.
