Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An interactive leaderboard ranks historical and fictional “goats” according to how much visitors pay to move them up.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-25 issue.

Field notes

The site turns a familiar cultural argument into a public bidding mechanism: select an entry, then exceed the dollar amount attached to it. Its board deliberately spans historical figures and fictional characters, including Cleopatra, Mario, Son Goku, Batman, and Michael Jordan. The homepage reports 58,536 goats on the board and $17 spent settling the argument, while the visible leading amount is $5.
