API index access is an important difference.
If it was only that, without public facing ad driven search, I'd be more impressed.

Maybe if you removed the adds, and severely rate limited your own public facing search, so it's more of a demo than an actual service. This would force you to solely make money off the API access, without directly competing against those customers.

That would be an honest buisness model. One that doesn't turn users into eyeballs for advertising. Which seems to me, to be the most insidious problem of the modern internet.

I'm aware of pebbling.
But I'm wondering what "boys" was supposed to be before the autocorrect.

Prince changed his name to a literally unpronounceable logo. So in that case, there was no real other option.

In that case Comcast is still the company name. Xfinity is just a branding of the consumer services division.

For all their talk of doing things different with their own index and rankings. Mojeek is following exactly what Google did. It's still an ad based business model that makes users into products to be sold to advertisers. They're good now, while still trying to build market share. But once their investors get hungry, the enshitification will commence.

They're about general critic and public sentiment.
And for that, no movie should ever get a perfect 10. No movie could ever get a perfect 10.
They are useful for evaluating a movie's actual quality. But quality has nothing to do with any individuals enjoyment of a movie.

I've always thought it was weird, the wife changes her name.
But in your situation? That's the perfect reason to do it.
You could also wear matching outfits every day! Like Jean and Gene from The Umbrella Academy season 4

Rotten Tomato ratings are stupid.
With every review being either a 👍 or 👎, the most simple meh movie that nobody hates (or loves), gets a 100% fresh.

IMDb and Metacritic are much better.

Flags aren't bricks.
It's hard throw a flag through a windshield.

Regular enough bidirectional foot traffic would make it work.

I'd expect this would be the place.
That's as far as I got since I'm not in PA.

Edit: I also found this PDF to mail in.
