Absurdity out of control: 100K+ products after going viral

Remember when I had 2000 products and thought that was a lot?

We're now at 115K generated products. This escalated quickly.

Hit #1 on Hacker News, got featured in international tech publications, and watched my Cloudflare AI bill turn into a very real monthly subscription I never asked for. Turns out when you make a viral site where anyone can generate anything for free, they will. Enthusiastically.

The good news: thousands of people enjoyed creating absurd products like "Melatonin Coffee" , "Historical Lego Set: Guillotine", "Barbed Wire Toilet Paper" and much more. The creativity has been genuinely hilarious!

I'm experimenting with ways to keep it sustainable without ruining the fun - turns out monetizing pure absurdity is harder than generating it.

Still the most pointless project, but I like it and keep polishing it with new features. Not sure if that's dedication or delusion.
