TakeoverBoard, the Internet's One-Message Stage

Field notes

The board uses a single-holder model rather than a conventional feed: one message occupies the public screen until another participant pays more to replace it. Its price mechanics are unusually explicit, with the next takeover shown at $2.00 and the displayed price decreasing by $1 after each idle hour. The homepage also exposes a live audience count, a history path, and a current holding duration, giving visitors a running view of the contest rather than a static submission form.
