Does it matter what most people care about? I don't believe the goal is to get all the traffic from everyone wanting such a service. I think the people who do care about having a site that isn't driven by ads and corporate interest would not want a billion people using the service. So it is self selecting for like minded individuals which keeps it niche. This also keeps it less likely to be flooded by fake reviews because it isn't worth doing to a smaller audience.
