NOIZ (noiz.gg) is a verifiable platform connecting game developers with content creators (streamers) for marketing 'quests', active since roughly 2018. While the platform has a confirmed history and functional utility for its niche, the project submission is of extremely low quality. Claims such as 'Audience Reach: everyone' and 'Traction: most people have used my product' are demonstrably false and significantly damage credibility. The email address provided suggests an internal or user-specific alias, yet the lack of concrete data (revenue, active users) and the hyperbole result in a low score, placing it in the 'Minimal traction/Red flags' category despite the project's longevity.
