We do. B2B Partnerships, some big companies trust us, and ultimately, I thought of the academic world so as to prove the expertise (I'm the complete opposite of an academic)
* We write public guides (see: https://legitcheck.app/explore-the-library/ https://legitcheck.app/explore-the-library/) - we have about 1m words written on the subject
* People are free to contest it. If we're wrong, we'll correct
* The more other people link to our guides, the more we get... credentials, I guess?
- amelius 5y ago> some big companies trust us Can't the infosec community define and setup a "trust" network? E.g. everybody trusts a number of people, and trust can be transitive (perhaps with weights). Hence when I read some review the network can compute a trustworthiness value. If the product turns out to be fake, the system can do a backprop and adjust weights. Etc. etc.
- chdaniel 5y agoYou're defo smart with what you're saying But the challenge would then be to explain something like this to the average non-techie who's just buying some expensive sneakers because they're cool
- iandinwoodie 5y agoYeah, basically a chain of trust certificates like outlined by X.509. I think managing the chain of trust would be a pretty involved process.
- Codesleuth 5y agoI really admire your approach to this. Making guides should not only improve your credibility but also overall help reduce the market of fakes by reducing demand.
- chdaniel 5y agoIt's exactly what we aim for! That's why we never considered charging for our guides, even something as little as $1 → The point was to allow people to inform themselves about fakes, with as little friction as possible That way, if we bump the % of people who get scammed by even a few negative points, we'd still be happy for a positive contribution
