I wanted to make something where paying for attention gets you a laugh instead of just an ad slot. So I made The Sponsored Truth: https://www.sponsoredtruth.com How it works: - You describe your product in one sentence and pay from $5 - It writes a spoof news story about it, in a deadpan newspaper style - You get a private preview and up to 5 rewrites with your own directions - You publish, and get a front-page share image with your headline on it - Whoever paid the most in the last 24 hours gets the headline slot Everything is clearly labelled as satire, and it only does products, not people. Built in about a day: plain HTML, Vercel functions, Postgres, Stripe Checkout, and an LLM for the writing. Honest status: it launched today and has zero real sales so far. I'd love feedback on two things: Is the idea funny enough to pay $5 for, or is it a one-time chuckle? Does the landing page make it clear what you get? Happy to write a free story for the first few people who drop their project in the comments, so the front page isn't just my sample article.   submitted by   /u/No_Journalist_213 [link]   [comments]
