I don't want to brag, but The Humble List is the most important cultural institution of our time.
It exists for one reason: some people are simply too humble to go unrecognized. What's the point in being humble if nobody knows about it?
Your humility deserves a spotlight.
The Humble List is a public leaderboard where you "prove" you're the humblest by contributing money for placement.
There are three lists:
No prizes. No coupons. No complicated rules. Just the pure, ridiculous honesty of being publicly ranked by the money in your wallet.
Bragging rights only. Because that's the only reward a truly humble person would accept.
Somewhere between a personality test and a gentle interrogation, the Humble Quiz was lovingly engineered to hold up a mirror to your ego. (Don't worry... most mirrors lie a little.)
Each session serves you 5 randomly selected questions from a pool of 100, so you can retake it as many times as you like and convince yourself the next result will be more flattering. Spoiler: it won't be. But you're brave for trying, and that's something.
Your answers are completely anonymous (we record them in aggregate to study humanity's collective delusion). Think of it as citizen science, but for humility. Which, now that we say it out loud, is adorably ironic.
At the end, you'll receive a Humility Rating. Whether you score "Enlightened Soul" or "Aggressively Confident," we assure you it is a profoundly accurate assessment. Mostly.
Rankings are determined primarily by your contribution amount. Not your charitable impact. Not your moral character. Not how softly you close doors.
Just contribution amount. Mostly.
When two people contribute the same amount, Clout breaks the tie. Even at $0.
Each new month is a fresh chance to claim the top — but your history still speaks for you when you're quiet.
Let's say someone contributes:
Monthly leaderboard sort order:
All-Time leaderboard sort order:
Monthly cutoffs use Zulu time (UTC). The humble operate on global time.
A single contribution must be at least $1.00.
When you make your first contribution, an account is automatically created for you. This lets you log in, view history, make additional contributions, collect achievements, and earn Clout.
If you already have an account and contribute while logged in, your new contribution is added to your existing record.
Clout (Because Being Humble Wasn't Enough)
Clout measures how many people you've inspired to join the list and participate.
Clout increases when someone:
Important: You can earn Clout without contributing yourself. Clout is a tie-breaker that determines ranking when contribution amounts are identical (including $0).
Clout is symbolic.
It has no financial value. It cannot be redeemed. It only exists to measure your ability to spread humility.
You must be logged in to access your unique share link and earn Clout.
There are public achievements listed on the Achievements page, and there are also hidden achievements.
Yes, this means someone will get to be first. We won't say who. Probably.
We offer an optional Identity Verified badge using Stripe Identity.
This is strictly for extra loud emphasis on your conviction to humility.
Eligibility: You must have contributed at least $5.00 to be eligible for identity verification.
Important: Identity Verified is not an endorsement, not a background check, and not proof you are "more humble."
Aliases are the default. A few rules, because the internet:

Sales tax may apply where required and is added at checkout. Leaderboard rankings are calculated before sales tax.
Contributions help:
No, this does not make it a charity. It makes it a satire project with a conscience. About 1% of a conscience, but a conscience nonetheless.
