Joystream is a legitimate, long-running (started ~2014) open-source project building a decentralized video platform on the Polkadot/Substrate stack. However, the submission provided contains significant falsehoods, claiming 'most people have used my product' and an 'all time marketcap: 60000000' (reality is ~$140k-$230k USD market cap with ~67k total accounts after 10 years). While the technical infrastructure is robust and functional (Gleev, Atlas apps), the project has failed to achieve significant product-market fit or mass adoption. The score is heavily penalized by the misleading claims in the submission and the low traction relative to the project's longevity.
