About
A public experiment on whether social capital can replace money as a ranking currency.
The question
Follower count is the most visible number on social platforms, and the most inflated one. Accounts with a hundred thousand followers posting to a few hundred readers is something everyone has seen — but there has never been a public, opt-in place to actually measure it.
This board measures one thing: when an account posts once, how many real people show up.
Why this shape
The format is borrowed from outbid.lol, the board where rank is whatever you paid. It proved how far a public, visible, scarce position can travel.
But that board answers "who has the bigger budget". This one asks a different question: besides money, is there a second unforgeable scarce resource you can rank people by?
About the data
Everything is public in real time, including the unflattering parts.
Follower counts are shown for contrast and never affect rank.
I am not on the board myself. The moment the person running an experiment enters it, the data stops being worth anything.
Who made this
An indie developer's weekend project. Full data and a write-up will be published once the experiment has run its course.
