House rules

The house sells seats. Money is what moves you toward the stage.

How seats are sold

A first listing is $1. The ceiling is $999,999. Amounts move in whole dollars, $1 at a time.
The front row costs the current front total plus $5. Any other seat costs that row's total plus $1. Offer less than the front and you still sit further back.
Equal amounts keep arrival order — the older listing stays closer to the stage.
The same website or @handle adds to your total. You pay the extra, at least $1. Someone else cannot take your seat by covering only the gap; they have to beat the full amount.
App Store, Play Store, GitHub, and similar storefronts are keyed by path, so two apps on one host do not share a seat. Query strings are dropped.

A website, or an X @handle.
Chat and invite links stay off the board — Telegram, WhatsApp, Discord, Messenger, Signal, and the like. Seats are for products and profiles.
Query strings are stripped. Tracking, affiliate, and referral extras will not stick.
Shorteners are refused. Bring the destination, not bit.ly, t.co, tinyurl, or similar.

Your listing is public. Clicks go to the URL or profile you gave, without query strings.
A finished payment holds the seat. Demo mode writes it down at once.
