Show HN: I made the dumbest thing ever. A public chat where you pay to speak

So I made this thing: https://www.paytosay.it

It’s a public chat room, but there’s a catch: You have to pay to say something.

Each message costs real money.There are 1,000 message slots total. Once they're filled, that's it, the chat becomes a permanent digital time capsule.

Why? I don’t know. Maybe I was tired of the noise. Maybe I wanted to see what happens when people really have to think before they post. Or maybe I just wanted to burn a hole in my own wallet.

Anyway, it's live. It works.

Let me know if this is: a) brilliant b) dumb c) the start of a dystopian messaging platform d) all of the above

Would love your thoughts (but not too many, there’s only 1,000 messages ).
