Why it surfaced
Top Founder removes metrics, votes, and vibes from the leaderboard: pay $1 to enter, then pay a dollar more to unseat the current holder. Its first listed founder describes the project as paying $1 to run a paid leaderboard, making the site both the register and a neatly self-aware social experiment.
