Jonathan Wilke credits AI for the existence of outbid.lol, his ad-bidding leaderboard site: he would never have manually coded or maintained it, so it would never have shipped. His takeaway: AI is accelerating builders — use it.
The site's numbers are impressive: 1.15M+ visitors since launch with 691 currently online. The #1 spot (joni.ai) was claimed for $14,013, with #2 and #3 above $12,700 — a working pay-for-placement traffic distribution model.
