What they did
After seeing a younger kid promote his own unblocked games site on TikTok, built a version in about 1-2 weeks on Google Sites (drag and drop), embedding games from online in frames. Copied others' design. Rebuilt in React once he had a few thousand users, later using AI coding so he could focus on marketing.
What happened
The crude version worked and reached a few thousand people before the rebuild.

“The first site was actually on Google Sites, which is just drag and drop, and I would just embed the games from online or wherever they were, frame it in the thing. It looked terrible, but it did work.”
