Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

Storyhunter is a well-established (2012) market network for video professionals with significant verified traction (170+ countries, major media clients). However, the submission quality is extremely poor, featuring hyperbolic falsehoods ('everyone', 'most people have used my product') and missing data ('marketcap: null'). While the underlying business is strong (comparable to the HackerNoon baseline), the low-effort and inaccurate submission heavily penalizes the Quality Factors, reducing the score from a potential 400+ to the high 200s.
