Pocketnow

Pocketnow is a long-standing, verified media brand (est. 2000) with significant YouTube traction (1.8M+ subs) and a solid niche audience. However, the submission quality is exceptionally poor, containing hyperbolic claims ('everyone', 'most people have used my product') and missing data ('marketcap: null'). While the external reality of the project warrants a 'Comparable Scale' score (similar to HackerNoon), the low-effort submission severely impacts the Traction and Response Quality metrics. The project is a standard media publication (low technical innovation) but has high real-world verifiable utility and longevity.
