Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Parler is a historically significant platform that has suffered from severe operational instability and market share loss to competitors like X (Twitter) and Truth Social. The submission quality is extremely poor, containing verifiable falsehoods (claiming 'most people' have used the product) and irrelevant tags ('space-technology'). While the brand has high residual awareness, current traction is unverifiable and likely low compared to its 2021 peak. The project is penalized heavily for exaggerated claims and lack of current evidence.
