July 24, 2026 I thought I had accidentally paid someone $100 for one hour of browsing

I was sitting there watching the balance calculations in our product when I noticed the numbers going up way faster than expected.

For a few seconds, I genuinely thought:

“Wait… did I just accidentally make someone $100 in one hour?” 😭

Then I remembered I was testing locally with a really big multiplier.

Btw we’re building Tributly - a browser extension that adds a small sponsor panel to your browsing experience. Advertisers pay for the attention, and users get a share of the verified ad revenue.

The idea is to let people earn a little passively while browsing normally.

We’re still early, so I’d genuinely love some honest feedback.

    Love the idea of turning attention into something users can own.

    Curious about your go-to-market strategy though — are you focusing on a specific user group first (students, creators, etc.), or trying to build a broad consumer product from day one?

    The product depends on people seeing enough value in passive earnings to install and keep using the extension.

    Was there a moment that convinced you people would adopt it because they wanted to earn, rather than simply because they were curious to try it once?

We believe attention should be rewarded. The internet is full of intrusive, annoying ads that interrupt your browsing experience, while platforms and advertisers profit from your attention.
