What is King of the Pill?
Imagine a site where people PAY to answer the question: "What's REALLY wrong with the world?" Whoever pays the most is King of the Hill. How much will people pay to answer this question and rule the hill? All the site's earnings are public and transparent.
Problem
Users want to voice opinions on societal issues but struggle to have their opinions heard and valued in a competitive, gamified manner due to lack of platforms prioritizing paid visibility and transparent earnings.

Unique Features
Transparent earnings display, real-time bidding mechanics for opinion supremacy, and a public leaderboard reinforcing gamification.
