A developer built a clone where two companies face off and visitors decide the winner, monetized by selling leaderboard spots. The linked outbid.lol stats: over 1,027,462 visitors since launch, with the #1 spot (joni.ai) currently bid at $14,013 — overtaking it costs $14,018. New spots start at $5, and trending entries pull thousands of clicks per hour. A concrete example of the "pay-to-rank arena" as a viral traffic-monetization play.
