You could argue that place was a copy. Before that you had The Million Dollar Homepage (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Million_Dollar_Homepage?wprov=sfla1) in 2005, where companies could buy a pixel for a dollar. I have a hard time believing that it didn't have some influence over the creation of place.
