Show HN: Outbid.to, a pay-to-win leaderboard for websites

I built outbid.to as a simple experiment in transparent paid discovery.

Submit a website, place a whole-dollar bid, and your bid determines your rank. The highest bidder takes #1. If someone outbids you, your listing moves down but stays live.

There are no hidden ranking factors or editorial decisions. The minimum bid is $2, payments are handled through Stripe, and each listing shows the traffic it receives.

I’m curious whether an openly pay-to-win leaderboard can be more useful and entertaining than traditional ads or sponsored directories.

Would appreciate feedback on the ranking mechanics, pricing, and anything that feels unclear.
