The project 'Proxytool' presents significant red flags. The URL (proxytool.io) does not appear to be indexed or functional in public search results. The claim that 'most people have used my product' is demonstrably false and undermines the credibility of the submission. The target audience is listed simply as 'everyone', which indicates a lack of market strategy. With no verifiable traction, revenue, or team information, and a submission quality that borders on spam, the project fails to meet the minimum threshold for usefulness validation.
