Bot Directory raised its sponsorship price by 50%.
The directory’s sponsorship offer changed from $800 to $1,200 a month. Elie publicly announced the same increase between these two archive captures.
These are advertised prices and archive capture dates. They do not establish payments, identical package contents or the exact website release time.
A price that rises as spots fill.
Elie said he would keep raising prices as more sponsorship spots were taken. Our reading: limited placements create a reason to revisit the asking price as availability shrinks. His post does not establish what triggered this particular increase.
The same placement invitation displays $400 more per month.
Elie described further increases tied to places being taken.

Just increased sponsorship prices from $800 to $1200/mo. Will increase as more spots get taken.
This confirms the price decision and a policy for future increases. It does not establish revenue, conversion or the exact time the website changed.
