Otherweb is a verifiable AI-powered news aggregator with confirmed funding (~$3.3M) and a functional product. However, the submission's claim of '10M+ active users' contradicts external data showing ~100k-200k users, and the statement 'most people have used my product' is factually incorrect. While the project has real-world utility and verified backing, the significant exaggeration of traction metrics and low-quality submission details heavily penalize the score, placing it in the 'Small but promising' tier rather than 'Comparable scale' to established brands.
