THE CURATOR PROGRAM

How CoolShit works

CoolShit is a community-curated catalog of the most viral, weird, and genuinely awesome novelty products on the internet. Anyone can browse โ€” curators make it happen.

Get approved and go live

Every submission goes through a quick moderation check. If it's viral, genuinely interesting, or just delightfully weird, it gets approved and appears in the catalog โ€” credited to your curator name.

Approval usually takes under 24 hours.

Common questions

Is it free to join?

Yes. Creating a curator account is completely free. There are no paid tiers.

What kind of products should I submit?

Viral novelty items โ€” things that make people say "what is this and why do I want it." Gadgets, desk toys, unusual kitchen tools, clever organizers, wearables, anything that's either genuinely useful in a surprising way or just delightfully weird.

What gets rejected?

Generic or boring products, duplicates already in the catalog, anything with broken links, adult content, or items that don't have a legitimate purchase link.

Does my submission need an Amazon link?

Not necessarily โ€” any direct product URL works (Etsy, direct brand sites, etc.). Amazon links are common because they're easy to find and trust.

Can I submit a product I haven't bought?

Yes. You just need to be able to link to a real purchase page and write an honest description of what it is.

How are products ranked on the homepage?

By upvotes, descending. Featured and sponsored placements appear at the top. Everything else is purely community-voted.
