I'm confused. The title does not describe the site at all.

The site is a database of public toilets, with leaderboards for people who help update the information.

I can't find anything on it about earning money from toilets or being an "AirBNB of toilets".

Trying it here and it is showing toilets inside of the public school that you can’t just stroll into. I’m not sure how the data is gathered, but that’s just wrong. Those are not public use at all. I gave it my exact location and hit emergency and it put me pretty far from my actual gps. Was this just a vibe coded project? Sure seems like it. There’s existing apps like this though: https://www.loofind.com/ https://www…

Are you sure that it is physically impossible to access those toilets?

Someone might have added them after a visit, not caring if it is actually allowed.

In France I heard they had toilets that you had to pay to keep the door from opening. A real “captive audience” and “impulse buy” if I do say so. In general, owning a gas station on a highway is far more profitable than owning it on a street.

No, it’s just that you pay for the system, and the lock engages after you’ve paid. It’s not supposed to be used for free, but you can if you hold the door yourself, although I believe the electric system doesn’t turn on (including lighting).

Just walk into a restaurant an ask nicely?

Not all places and towns are so friendly. Many places love money so much that they'll say it's only for paying customers, not any customers.

maybe one of those unpaying customers shat up the walls. you think im being facetious but its surprisingly common in the first world
