Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughtful feedback. Bluntness and even harshness are appreciated as they help us to (re)consider what is potentially not well explained or not well designed. I’m pretty sure there is more to be desired from the description, but part of it is that such concept does not exist. Similar to how alien seemed to offer a service where users can upload pictures of their lunch or stay at strangers’ homes, it’s probably unclear why is this necessary/useful. Trying to simplify the description takes away some of the dimensions to it, but the platform is like a professional league for social media content creators. Another example, what the platform does: For example Nike had brick and mortar stores and great sales even before the Internet, but doing their business online greatly expanded their sales and brand awareness. Sports teams to this day don’t have this opportunity - to compete online (not just sell some merch). It would be too long to list all the ramifications/benefits from this, but they are similar to before and after businesses started to engage with customers on social media. As for the outdated design, we like to think of it more as classic, but we understand your point. We’ll definitely consider your recommendations Cheers
