A couple of ways from my understanding. We have different focuses in our UX and UI as we, for example, feature reviews directly next to the product and show products 1 at a time instead of a listing view. We also place more emphasis on havi

That's crazy, going to be really interesting once this ramps up/if it starts getting good traffic.

Interesting, haven't seen one of those yet. With public video+audio models getting much better that will only get way worse over time. Excited to see what YT/Google decides to do about it.

Fair. The best solution we've seen is building the product in some way where it's somewhat defensible, either through data, features that bigger players won't build, etc. and then using a subscription based model if users are

Great question. This would be a bigger issue if we were only aggregating results and summarizing them, but because we both aggregate and show (in our opinion) the highest credibility reviews from YouTubers (and other sources like blogs once

The top comment on that clip scores home that point. While there's no way to verify that, I wouldn't be surprised if it's a lot more than we realize. That being said and to play devils advocate - if all of them are already as

Great points, not sure those are fixable either. It definitely has some advantages from those same things in some respects, but monetizing reddit outside of ads (i.e. ecommerce like tiktok/instagram) because of these things is going to

Sorry that happened :( What were you searching for? We'll look into it.

Thanks! We just watched your review together in the living room, and we really appreciate your thoughts+detailed feedback. The list of items is an interesting idea that we'll think about how to fit into the ux. Comparisons is definitel

That's what I've heard as well. Also, the lag to when you actually get paid is super painful. Also curious - how do you think about affiliates as someone who runs an ecommerce site? Are there any reservations about whether service

For sure! We'll work on that in the next couple of updates, it's been on our minds for a while.

Great point. While reddit may be astroturfed, all it takes is one good comment.

would love to say that it was a gift from sama, but he hasn't blessed us :(

Is the implication here that you need to charge and users will leave you once you do? If you can make a product that's significantly better, then you should be able to charge. The thing I'd note for affiliate marketing as a busine

They're getting smarter for sure, maybe some shadow marketing going on with the IPO too lol

lol true, the state of youtube ads is pretty bad nowadays (although the raid shadow legends spam is gone from my feed now). Just places more emphasis on how much people trust the individual channel.

Thanks! Super interesting how many different approaches there are to this problem. Definitely encountered these challenges, and we think there's solutions to them eventually that we have to build towards. I'll drop a message somet

Very true. It's interesting how Reddit has maintained a relatively high trust within most people though. It's also worth noting that while this is happening, there aren't many other places that most people go to where the sit

Thanks, we really appreciate it! This is something we've been thinking about too. One of the things that we've noticed is that video reviews have a lot more effect on us than almost all text reviews, which are harder to fake (for

Thanks and makes sense. Supplements+general health and beauty will probably be one of the first things that get added outside of skincare. Would be interested in seeing the reviews as well for those considering how supplements are sold+regu
