The submission critically conflates two distinct entities: 'Ditto' (letsditto.co), a small video speed-dating app, and 'Ditto' (ditto.live), a venture-backed edge database company valued at $462M. While the URL points to the dating app, the financial metrics, business type description, and market cap claims belong to the database company. This massive discrepancy renders the traction claims invalid. The actual dating project appears to be a small-scale operation with ~7,750 lifetime attendees, far below the claimed metrics.
