The founder reports an active site with 90 paid tiles and visible tiles live on the wall; commenters treat it as a real product and give conversion advice rather than calling it fake or promotional.
“With 260k views and 90 sales, you don't have a traffic problem — you have a conversion problem, and the math is worth facing honestly: 4,760 a day against 3 a week means the current offer, at the current price, won't close that gap in 3 weeks no matter how much more traffic you buy.” ▲ 40
