The project operates a functional niche publishing platform for digital assets, but the submission is undermined by unverifiable and hyperbolic claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product'). The 'marketcap' revenue figure is ambiguous and likely conflates metrics. Real-world traction appears minimal compared to the claims, and the affiliate-based model for low-cost items faces significant scaling challenges.
