Nobody Wants My Money

What failedOct 13, 2026

I spent 2 hours on X trying to give away $25 and it resulted in failure.

Even my friends didn't jump on it.

Literally I said "like/share this post" to get a $1.

And if nobody even tried, the first to do it would get the full $25 pot. Even once the timeout happened (2 hours after I first started), nobody tried to claim it.

Eventually, long after the 2 hour event, 15 minutes past the limit, someone I knew @yusuke claimed it. Congratulations Yusuke!

The failure is that it didn't go at all as I expected.

Maybe it was the hour I ran it. Too late for most people.

Maybe it was because X is still limiting me as a ghost account (I long suspect because I trashed Elon a long, long time ago that I'm flagged).

Maybe it's because $1 (or even the $25 pot) is too small and no one in the world cares about that (how?!)

In any case, it's a $25 failure, and I'm posting the results here first.
