About Internet Apology

Internet Apology is a public place where people put money behind an apology. You write what you got wrong, choose a Penance, pay, and get a public receipt.

Money is part of the apology because a paid public statement is more consequential than a free post. The amount is visible. That is the point. It is not a donation, not therapy, not a legal confession, and not a reputation-repair service.

Forgive is free. Anyone can click Forgive. It is social feedback with no legal meaning and no financial value.

Co-sign is paid, from $2. It means “I did this too.” The co-sign amount is public and adds to Total Atonement, which is original Penance plus valid paid co-signs.

Pages are public because the receipt is the product. Rankings such as Most Expensive or Most Forgiven are calculated from real published activity. They are not prizes and they are not promised.

Paying to publish does not buy traffic, shares, ranking, or forgiveness. This is an internet experiment about public commitment, not a marketing guarantee.

Publishing an apology starts at $5. PayPal identity never becomes the public byline. Only the display name or handle you type is shown.
