The market for discovery in general is really under served almost across all areas.

Magazines and to some extent brick and mortar stores used to serve the product discovery market but right now it's so hard to find a product that fits your needs.

So much bait-and-switch nonsense and straight up scams.

Doesn't help that many e-commerce sites are such a pain in the ass to use. 45 second page loads with an additional 15 seconds of random layout shifts is comparatively good. Product listings that show like 6 items per screen, in a random order with useless and truncated descriptions and no useful search function.

I don't understand how they're getting any sales at all.
