How credits work
A credit is the platform's unit of promotional value. You earn one for every unique human delivered through your promotional link, and you spend them raising your position on the leaderboard. They are not currency — you cannot buy them, sell them or cash them out.
| Action | Credits | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| New account | +50 | Enough to test a listing position immediately |
| Unique visitor through your promotional link | +1 | Deduplicated per human per day |
| Same visitor returning tomorrow | +1 | A return visit is a real visit |
| Same visitor refreshing today | 0 | Rejected by the database constraint |
| Verified owner bonus | +220 pts | Score points, not credits |
| Featured placement | +380 pts | Earned from performance; not purchasable |
Why there is nothing to buy
A leaderboard where position can be purchased is a leaderboard nobody reads, and a leaderboard nobody reads sends no traffic. The entire value of a listing here comes from readers trusting the ranking. Selling positions would destroy the thing members are paying attention to.
What "costs" you instead
Time. A well-written listing takes twenty minutes. Sharing your promotional link where your real audience actually is takes a few minutes a week. That is the whole investment, and it is why a one-person newsletter competes on equal terms with a funded startup here.
