It's crazy how many copycats came out, very unoriginal thinking going on.
I was quite busy for the next few months as orders kept rushing in!
I've also had a few competitors pop up & the script was pirated, including some selling it on ebay, they even forgot to remove my contact email, so their customers were coming to me for support.
Eventually, the fad died down, but it got a lot of business out of those 800 pixels.
Thanks Alex, if you're reading this, for the original idea & letting my ad on your site.
Any successful thing on the internet that hits the media will sooner or later be copied (usually sooner). Remember 'awesomenessreminders.com', the story had barely been told or the first copycats were up. And that was the HN audience doing the copying.
Definitely not copied from anotheer commenter ;)
I keep a list of things that follow this pattern, and yeah, altcoins/tokens are another. It really just becomes a catalogue of what's been popular/happening these past couple decades.
