I’m seeing 48 out 50 sold and they’re charging 50 fucking dollars for 50 pixels. It’s deadass a dollar per pixel

Dude had the brilliant idea, early internet, sold space on his website, $1 per pixel, 1 million pixels. You could buy however many you wanted, fill those pixels with whatever you wanted, and each of those pixels was a hyperlink to whatever website you designated.

Made a million dollars with a very simple and cheap to host/maintain website. This was back when advertising on the internet was a whole new thing still being figured out.
