Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Project verified as MediaLab, a major holding company owning Imgur, Kik, and Amino. While the submission quality is extremely low ('SilentKeeper', 'everyone'), the verifiable real-world reach involves hundreds of millions of users and significant revenue. The score reflects the massive external traction and utility of the portfolio brands, heavily penalized only in the Response Quality section for the lack of detailed submission data.
