Off-topic if employees of the company are here: Friendly suggestion to work on the home page. I couldn't for the life of me understand what it is that company is about. The headline says NOTHING, and the paragraph after it is so confusing.

This sounds like a hip, trendy veneer atop the concepts of affiliate sales, and offshore farms of fake review writers. I suspect that their landing page is vague by design.

Sounds like a typical "about us" page. I find most of the intro pages very ambiguous as what they do. They're just studded with industrial terms(buzzwords). My reaction is always - "looks amazing, but I don't know anything about them"

Perhaps that's the intent here ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
