Allocate visibility through bids and credits

Placement is allocated by a visible bid or credit rule.

23 projects
Different approaches

Several boards replace editorial ranking with direct competition for position. Basic variants rank by bid size; ElementBid lets another buyer displace a claimed slot. The Sovereign Feed spends credits continuously, while 1milliontaps consumes credits when links are opened. These are different allocation mechanisms; free starting credits do not establish paid replenishment.

What brings them together
Rank or placement explicitly depends on bids, outbidding or a consumable credit balance.
