The submission appears to be a low-quality or potentially fraudulent entry claiming association with 'Shenzhen Friendcom', a legitimate public IoT company. Significant discrepancies exist: the submission lists 'ThunderKeeper' (a name associated with gaming/crypto/fanfiction, not Friendcom products) as the project name, claims a team size of 30 (Friendcom has 500+), and states a market cap of 500,000 (Friendcom's actual market cap is ~$400M+). The evidence of traction ('most people have used my product') is hyperbolic and unverifiable. The submission fails to substantiate its claims or correctly identify the business metrics of the entity it purports to represent.
