Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

CoveredGeekly is a verifiable pop-culture news outlet with citations on Wikipedia and discussions on Reddit, indicating a 'Small but promising' scale (100k+ potential visitors) rather than the user's hyperbolic claim of 'everyone'. While the project has real traction as a media source, the submission quality is poor ('marketcap: null', 'everyone' reach), and the site operates in a saturated, low-trust niche (rumor/clickbait). The score reflects the existence of verifiable traffic and brand presence, heavily penalized for the user's lack of evidence and false claims regarding reach.
