Why Pixel Pricing Scales With Distance From the Center
On One Million Dollar Pixels, price isn't flat — it scales with distance from the center of the grid, from $100 at the exact middle down to $1 at the outer edge — one payment, yours for life. That's a deliberate design choice, not just a gimmick.
A flat price (like the original 2005 site's $1/pixel) rewards whoever buys first, regardless of where they land. Distance-based pricing instead lets the market sort itself: buyers who want maximum visibility pay for it, and buyers who just want a permanent, affordable presence can still get one at the edge — which keeps the grid filling in from the outside as well as the center.
