How Cloppity works
Cloppity is a money-ranked video leaderboard for YouTube Shorts, TikToks and Instagram Reels. Creators submit clips, fans BOOST them with money, and the clips with the strongest active backing rise up the board.
Submit
Creators can submit a public YouTube Short, TikTok or Instagram Reel. Approved clips join the Global Board.
BOOST
People can put money behind a clip. Each payment is a BOOST. More backing raises a clip's current price.
Rank
Money affects ranking. A clip's CURRENT PRICE — the decayed total of confirmed payments still contributing, plus any labeled promotional backing from Cloppity — sets its position on the Global Board. Likes, follower counts and platform engagement do not determine Cloppity rank.
Promotional backing
Cloppity may give clearly labeled promotional backing. Daily House Boosts and one-time events such as Launch Boost are rank fuel from Cloppity, not a fan BOOST and not revenue. They raise current price, decay over 7 days like ordinary backing, and are labeled so nobody confuses them with fan spending. Lifetime paid stays real user payments only.
Decay
Backing loses ranking strength over time, so old spending does not permanently lock the board. Money moves you up. Time pulls you down.
Competition
A clip can rise, fall, take #1, or be overtaken on the Global Board as backing and time change.
What Cloppity is not
It is not a recommendation feed, social network, ad auction, or measurement of video quality. It is a public competitive scoreboard driven by money and time.
A SCOREBOARD, NOT A FEED.
