Fakespot will shut down on July 1

MetaReview was started by the people who ran the site supplementreviews.com, but the owner of Fakespot would always mention they were very out of date. I don't know if they were just throwing shade at them or legitimately knew more about it. I thought their interface was much better and had way more information.
The thing about running a service like Fakespot is it would be difficult to make money. As far as I can tell, they primarily made income by including affiliate links to other products in their reviews. But who's going to click on a link for a similar product if they already have one picked out? It almost would need to be a subscription service to be profitable.

They ran out of money.
Never heard about fakespot and it sounds like a great tool; especially if it ran locally so it didn't need a monthly fee..

Look at Section 2B
Probably just traditional "our incredible journey" exit language, but reminds me to mention a mindset misalignment that we see frequently in startups:
Providing a solution isn't about our journey (together?). It's about the solution.
I think many of us often have good alignment at some point, and really want to solve the problem.
But as it becomes a business, we also have to be thinking about the business.
That's OK, but remember that we're also still purporting to solve a problem.
The people for whom the problem is being solved don't much care about our journey -- they care about the problem being solved.
If the solution effort is ending, and we're framing it to those people as our "journey", that sounds like we missed the point of the "support".
