The site is a cheap trick. The marketing gives away that the owner is not relying on people buying pixels with the intent of contributing to his education. No, it's blatantly making marketing promises: "... a site that could potentially be seen by millions of people over the coming years", "own a piece of internet history" (PR value) etc. It's basically dishonest. As I've said before, he's a genius. It's a shame he didn't put that genius to better use.

me thinks I detect a wee jealous sourpuss or three.

Do I kick myself that I've not had an idea that netted me several hundreds of thousands in one fell swoop? Of course I do. Does that detract that this is largely a con? No, it doesn't. Have you bought any pixels?
