For the box that shows a random service, I'd recommend just making it sequential. When it randomly comes back to a service I've seen before, I assume that I've seen all the services.

For example, I got: YouTube, Tumblr, YouTube, YouTube, Twitter

Yep, we noticed that as well, will fix it. Excellent observation, thank you.

I want to suggest that it moves a little bit faster too. Either that or have both fields change at the same time. I get that you're trying to say "you can sell anything on any platform" by having the item persist while showing a different platform, but I think the fast that they're different fields is enough of a hint that you can sell "anything on anything."

You could have it start at a random spot in a sequential list.

Thanks for the feedback. Really appreciate it :D - It's now sequential! (yay~) We also modified it slightly to (hopefully) make the idea "you can sell _anything_ on _anything_" clearer. Any thoughts?
