A shared canvas, not a feed.

In 2005 a student sold a million pixels for a million dollars and accidentally made one of the most-visited pages of its decade. The reason it worked wasn't the maths — it was that every single square belonged to a real person with something to say.

Twenty years later almost everything online is rented. You post into a feed, an algorithm decides who sees it, and next month it's gone. Pixel Quest is the opposite bet: you buy a fixed piece of a shared page and it simply stays there, unranked, unsorted and undeleted.

The grid is exactly one million pixels — 1,600 across and 625 down. Each one costs a single unit of currency. You choose which pixels you want, upload the graphic that goes in them and attach the link you want people to visit. Nothing renews, nothing lapses and nothing is resold. When the last pixel is claimed, the wall closes for good.

Some people buy a handful of pixels as a joke or a keepsake. Others buy a big block as the cheapest permanent advertising they'll ever own. Both are the point.
