Proof of Usefulness Score
Lab Mode

The submission appears to be an impersonation or a spam entry using the identity of the established fintech company 'EarnIn'. The provided URL (earnin.me) does not resolve to the official platform (earnin.com), and the description incorrectly categorizes the business as 'MarketingTech'. Traction claims are hyperbolic ('most people have used my product') and unsubstantiated. Due to these red flags and the lack of verifiable connection to the actual entity, the project receives a negative score.
