The submission for 'Trading.TV' references a legitimate venture-backed startup that raised ~$14M in 2021/2022. However, the submission data itself appears to be a low-quality test or bot entry (Name: 'DeepClaw', Email: '687868@trading.tv'). The claim that 'most people have used my product' is demonstrably false and severely damages credibility. While the domain belongs to a known 'Twitch for Finance' platform, the lack of recent verifiable activity, combined with the hyperbolic and substantiated claims in this specific submission, results in a very low score. The project appears to be either dormant or the submission is a spoof.
