How Many Paid This?

A one-dollar social experiment that reveals how many other people paid the same dollar for no reward.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-24 issue.

Field notes

Visitors are sent to PayPal in a new tab, then return to press a confirmation control that exposes the count. The page says a server-side PayPal webhook—not a browser click—can increment the total, and its ledger labels the participant as “PAID BY YOU.” Sharing distributes an invitation link rather than the number itself, preserving the site’s central loop: each curious friend must pay to see the result.
