Back in 2004, all they did was create a public leaderboard, which they still have today, if we go to gas tools here.

We can see all these people, Prince33 leading the pack.

And they basically did giveaways.

So in 2004, they gave away e-bikes.

And the way that it would work is that if you updated or reported any gas prices, you'd get like 150 points.

And then once you reach 1,000 points, that gives you one entry into the giveaway.

And they were like, yeah, you could get an e-bike.

So I thought that was super interesting.

It's like very simple psychology.

Everyone loves a public leaderboard.

We all can't be Usain Bolt, but if you want to be the best gas price reporter in the world, then, you know, you can be that.

And let me see if I can quickly find the Wayback Machine tab here.

Yeah, so check this out.

I thought this was kind of cool.

So this is a, yeah, so this is a snapshot from 2006 and we can see this little leaderboard here.

Prince33 was active back 20 years ago.

Gary Indiana, shout out.

but now, you know, consistency, persistence has gotten him to number one.

And what's insane is this guy hasn't missed a day in almost like in over 5,800 days.

Like this guy wakes up and he's passionate about gas prices apparently.
