The submission for 'The Bounty App' suffers from critical quality issues and verifiable inaccuracies. The claim that 'most people have used my product' is demonstrably false given the lack of funding, low market visibility (ranked 12th in a niche list), and obscure status since its 2020 launch. The reported financial metric ('marketcap: 50000') is ambiguous and indicates negligible value. The technical description ('Internet') and audience definition ('everyone') demonstrate a lack of effort and seriousness. While the project appears to exist as a rewards platform, the submission fails to demonstrate utility, innovation, or meaningful traction.
