However, once you learn the platform there is almost nothing you can accomplish with it.

Gah! Clearly myopia plus autocorrect is the bane of my existence. Thanks!

This is the main reason I have not added a review. I don’t mind creating a new account using my email, but I do not want to be linked back to other accounts. What does linking allow them to do? This is the first time I have seen a site not offer another way.

I would like to show support for openhab and those wanting to make a marketing difference, so how important is this website towards making a difference?

It allows them to not have to be responsible for the account log in info.

Frankly, if I were to run a service like this I’d jump at the opportunity to avoid that responsibility. Last thing is want is to be in a headline at HaveIBeenPwned.com. Let the big boys manage that risk.

If course, as an individual, I don’t necessarily want to give access to my other accounts. I made an exception in this one case but probably wouldn’t in any other case. And almost didn’t in this case

I can’t say how important this site is. It’s kind of an interesting concept though. At least they are trying something new in the product review market space. I’m interested in following where the site goes

As far as I understood, the main (or at least their official) reason to force people to use their personal accounts is so that companies don’t use their corporate generic accounts and everything is tied to real people. Maybe it’s a bit (not impossible) more difficult to trick the scores.

They want to sell the data and want it to be high quality where people don’t put in bare minimum and junk data to create a useless account.
