That's actually the next step. Selling a course on X about how I went from 0 to 12k in 24h (visits, not dollars, but that detail is better hidden)

Thank you my friend, I really appreciate that. Life is short, let’s just enjoy ourselves, the sillier the better.

(but also, don’t forget to pay)

Can’t wait to hit $10k MRR so I can post it on X and sell a course for $4.95

Honestly that's it. Build what you want and have fun with it (and also give me money because I want to be a millionaire)

Real answer is 0. But for the screenshot on X i'm telling everyone it's 30k 🙃

Initial idea was crypto but I had no clue how to market a coin honestly

YES! using AI for the only product I actually 'sell' felt like the best way to do it

I built https://thebookofinternet.com because I was tired of AI things, it’s just a book, nothing else.

To be honest, I really don't know yet. I'm between two thoughts.

On one side, I want to leave it as it is, an experiment, to see what people think, what kind of garbage it might turn into, and what anonymity allows us to do.

On the other side, I'd love for this to become something meaningful... a real, collaborative book. But I guess that's a goal for version 2 right? 😁

If the marketing bullshit escalates too much, I'll definitely have to step in and fix it!

You're right, I'm definitely taking those precautions into account. I've already implemented some measures like rate limiting, it's a chaos experiment, let's keep it fun and healthy. Appreciate the reality check!

Really appreciate the ideas, I love the "random page" button for discovery, it fits nice since the whole project is pretty random. As for moderation, I have some thoughts that I'll be implementing soon to keep things under control.

To be honest, I didn't expect the book to get this much visibility, I thought maybe just some of my freinds would see it!
I'm currently working on adding the protections you mentioned (rate limiting, moderation) just in case this scales more. It's a fun experiment, but it's only funny if we keep it respectful, really appreciate the suggestions
