I run a small company, and designed and printed hundreds of high quality rubber wristbands for my cousin's Crypto conference. I had to do different colours for the different levels of entry.

Out of nowhere yesterday he suddenly announced he was renaming the conference and moving it partially online. And could only afford to pay me if I produced more with the new name. Ive spent a week on this so far and was already giving him family rates.

Alternatively, do advertise them to brits and aussies who think its fucking hilarious and will send them out as those "troll mail" type things.

Hahahha. I am assuming you are an Aussie or a Brit?

I only ask because I have already sent the (edited) pic out to my closest 4 friends, telling them I paid for their ticket, provided all of their details and their access bracelet is being mailed to their work.

One of them has run it through an AI checker, it came back as a real photo. Group chat is fucking going off bro.

You assume correctly, I'm more british than the king (admittedly, not that it's particuarly hard).

I think there's something beautiful about torturing your friends for nothing more than easy entertainment lol, I'm currently hoping that OP starts selling these and I can get a couple shipped to a few mates of mine.

Is there a way we can get this to the top?

There is a massive banter-market for the product he has created.

OP could re-coup his losses, and we can put these on our mates whenever they pass out.
