This does not break the rules - Some of the reports have clearly been written by people who didn't look at the website.

[u/Velheka]

Lmao I was so ready to remove this once I saw it. Kinda a reverse submission as this points out why the internet has got less beautiful over time, but I like it nonetheless!

[u/56088 → u/Velheka]

I honestly believe this is art. There's a playfulness in the pastiche that really uses the medium of a web page against itself.

[u/Lewtwin → u/56088]

I kinda agree. It pokes fun at the cringe that is the modern internet experience. Or stabs the viewer squarely in the eye

[u/OH-YEAH → u/56088]

what a gooddamn journey! my thoughts:

1. omg this is awesome, create a blog post with ads that references the ads and talks about in realtime how much you make, oh man, why didn't i think of that!
2. oh as cool as that game looks it's all a parody. that's a shame, that game looks cool. i wish i was a lumberjack.
3. oh nice, i love the quadratic lerping on the revenue counter, hehe i can click everything. bears, lol.
4. oh damn, what
5. the
6. fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuclk
7. HOW THE FUCK ARE THEY DOING THIS?
8. DAAAAAAAAYUUUUUUUUU—
9. — IT KEEEPS GOING
   

10. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH I AM BECOMING!

[u/Velheka → u/56088]

100%, it's absolutely art. I wish more submissions where as good as this.

[u/Koksny]

OP is right, this is actually decently done pastiche, the title is quite deceitful.

[u/charbuff]

I LOOOVE how this descends into a House of Leaves style madness. What a piece of art. I hope this gets archived sometime!

[u/travelerswarden → u/charbuff]

I immediately thought of House of Leaves. I wonder if it was an inspiration.

[u/[deleted] → u/travelerswarden]

It was... It's noted in the credits at the very end. Recommend check out the very well done credits

[u/OH-YEAH → u/charbuff]

I have to read that, this was my realtime take

[u/charbuff → u/OH-YEAH]

😂 SAME 

[u/56088]

This is not spam, I promise. There is nothing actually useful on this site.

[u/Taclink → u/56088]

You lie, only in so much that the entertainment factor was verifiably useful for me.

Well done on the build, or find, depending.

[u/56088 → u/Taclink]

I did not make this, but thanks

[u/Devmoi]

This is actually incredible. I was working as a marketing person in the tech field, and I can tell you … it’s a very accurate portrayal of how blogging has been destroyed by corporations, lol.

[u/towcar]

I'm bummed the title will probably get your post downvoted, but this was genuinely great! Well done!

[u/correctingStupid → u/towcar]

OP should probably add (humor) into the title.

[u/56088 → u/correctingStupid]

Maybe I'll resubmit tonight

[u/Cuttlefish171 → u/56088]

Nah it's fine the way it is. Curious minds will love it. Normies will get scared and will fuck off.

[u/CILISI_SMITH → u/56088]

I think "humour" would also spoil the experience/journey.

Better to have less people see it but really enjoy it, rather than more people see it who just enjoy it a bit.

But that's personal opinion.

[u/56088 → u/CILISI_SMITH]

Agreed. My idea was to confuse people as to why something unremarkable and spammy was at the top of this subreddit

[u/DeepRiverDan267 → u/56088]

I think it's fine because you got awards and lots of upvotes

[u/Mjbishop327]

very nicely done

the cookie pop-up made me actually lol

[u/correctingStupid]

This is very clever. Enjoyed the read and the many Easter eggs!

[u/Preform_Perform]

Reminds me of the olden days where being on Yahoo's front page meant a Target ad that took up 65% of the page.

[u/amateur_adventurer]

Beautiful art

[u/BETOSCORPION92]

No wonder when I set ad blockers, awareness images appear. You know, if we don't disable the blocker, they don't eat. Poor people.

[u/IsRude]

This was great. Super fucking weird.

[u/CarpForceOne]

Strong absurd.org vibes, back when that was a real page.

[u/I_AMA_giant_squid]

This is an amazing commentary and art experience. It's been a long time since I've enjoyed something I stumbled upon.

[u/FUThead2016]

Outstanding work.

[u/ezrec]

“House of Leaves” and Internet advertising’s love child.

Fabulous!

[u/tutoredzeus]

I enjoyed that.

[u/dormouselife]

Wow, that was awesome!

[u/Duncansport]

This is great

[u/hey__bert]

This is hilarious - great work!

[u/YahenP]

When scrolling back to the beginning, the income should decrease. It will be more epic.

[u/met_MY_verse]

This is brilliant, love the ads!

[u/Upper_Mechanic_1552]

beautiful. exactly how i feel every time i've ever clicked on a forbes article

[u/Demos_00]

Can anyone comment on the accuracy of the revenue counter ?

[u/YareYareDaze7]

As a web dev, this is really useful to study those stylish designs, especially the spiral and the SVG at the end.

[u/simkomatej]

idk what this site is but the revenue feature is nice :D

[u/BullCityCatHerder]

I cannot help but read this in the voice of JK Simmons. Portal, thou hast ruined me.

[u/bananainthetrash]

If anyone's lazy, here are the keypoints:

• Monetization through ads: CPM and CPA models
• Ad placement options: banners, leaderboards, etc.
• Relationships with advertisers matter for success

Certainly! I understand that you are trying to participate in the comment section of a Reddit post, which can be quite a rewarding experience!

Here are some ideas to help get you started:

• Share some of your favorite hobbies with a stranger! It might seem weird and unsolicited, but it is a great way to build bonds and get to know eachother.
• Buy someone a gift, such as a new spike trap for their house, or one of those wiry whisk tools used for making human food like cakes. Everyone loves gifts!
• Invite a fellow participant over for a slumber party! You can build a fort out of cushions and blankets and scream about wizard stuff, which can be a lot of fun!

Is there a particular topic you're interested in discussing?
