The price is dynamic. When someone posts a new message, the price immediately doubles from the previous purchase price. Then it gradually decreases over 24 hours until it reaches $1.
Your message stays up indefinitely until someone else pays to replace it. There's no time limit - it's purely based on others.
Unlike other platforms, PayToReplace does not have a comment section. If you have thoughts on the current message, you can discuss it elsewhere. Or pay to replace it.
PayToReplace allows all types of messages, but certain content will be removed immediately without refund.
Prohibited content includes: child sexual abuse material (criminal everywhere), terrorist propaganda/incitement (illegal speech), direct violent threats (true threats under law), non-consensual intimate imagery (revenge porn), doxxing with malicious intent (facilitates harassment), hate speech calling for violence against protected groups, targeted harassment encouraging self-harm, defamation (unverified harmful claims), attempts at hacking, dangerous medical/civic misinformation, and fraudulent scams.
These restrictions exist for legal compliance and safety. All other content is permitted, even if controversial.
No. The nature of the platform is that messages can be replaced at any time. The initial doubling of price helps prevent rapid cycling of messages, but there's no guarantee of how long your message will stay up.
While technically possible, this would be counterproductive. Basic economics dictates that higher prices reduce demand. If prices were kept artificially high, fewer people would participate, resulting in less overall activity and revenue.
The platform thrives when prices naturally find their equilibrium through genuine user activity. Artificial manipulation would discourage participation and ultimately harm the platform's growth and sustainability.
