Apester is a verified, established digital storytelling platform (Series A/B funded, acquired/merged ~2022) with significant market presence (est. $3M-$9M revenue, ~35-40 employees). However, the submission itself is extremely low quality, providing hyperbolic claims ('everyone') and missing critical data. While the project's real-world traction justifies a high baseline, the score is penalized by the lack of direct evidence in the submission and the mature, post-hype nature of the market.
