You just restored my faith in strangers. I genuinely did not think anyone would do this. Thank you — I mean that.

1,200 strangers visited. Nobody paid. If reading that made you smile — buy me a coffee for $1. That's it. That's the whole thing.
A week ago I built this site as a social experiment. The bet was simple: that not one person on the internet would voluntarily give a stranger $1 for no reason whatsoever.
1,200 people visited. Nobody paid. And honestly? I get it. "Give a stranger $1" sounds weird. Nobody does that.
But buying someone a coffee? That's normal. That's human. That's what people do for people who made them smile.
"1,200 people visited. Nobody bought a coffee. You're still reading. That means something."
— The person who built this, hoping to be wrong
No tricks. No charity. No product. $1 buys you a spot on the Wall of Coffee Buyers — a permanent, public list of the people who read this experiment and decided a stranger's coffee was worth it.
The wall is empty. 1,200 people came and went without buying a thing. You could be the first.
Did this experiment make you think? Did it make you smile? Did the audacity of a stranger asking for coffee money on the internet amuse you even slightly?
That's worth a dollar. Maybe. You decide.
The wall is waiting.
"I'm Andrew. I enjoy building things with AI and finding creative ways to use it. I built this experiment in an afternoon because I genuinely believe the internet has made us too cynical to help strangers — even for the price of a coffee. Prove me wrong."
$1. 30 seconds. Your name on the wall forever. You'd be the first real stranger to prove me wrong — and right now, that spot is wide open. I've been watching this counter for 5 days. Every single one left. Will you?
