Interesting mechanic, the pay-to-rank-higher model is a clever way to
monetize a leaderboard, but I'm curious what keeps people scrolling
back to check rankings once the novelty wears off. Is the retention
here mostly from people bidding against each other for the top spot,
or is there a browsing/discovery angle I'm missing?
