Among the challenges for a site like this is the dimension of time. An outstanding brand one year can become a scourge five years later. But does the site's algorithm account for this?

Something that would be cool is if users uploaded pictures of their old gear. That would add genuinity and would also hint how well it holds up.

Best suggestion of the whole thread! Optional addition of the posters face in the picture would make it even harder to fake (see for instance TIL Threads on Reddit).

This is real - lots of previous BiFL brands/products have gotten significantly diluted over time as the company cuts materials costs, etc.
