Ep 5 · The Hovel Is Full of Ads

The Hovel is full of ads

Tier 1 isn't just a label — it's a business model sketch.

In Korea it's 거지굴 (beggar den). Globally it's The Hovel. Same placement, different skin.

We're not shipping aggressive ad stacks in beta yet — but the world assumes them so tier-ups feel earned, not cosmetic.
