Hello everyone!

I've been working on an idea for a while and finally launched it in January this year. It's a politician review website. Think IMDB or rotten tomatoes but for politicians.


After a few posts on reddit, it got about 40k visitors a month for the first 2 months but people don't hang around for long. Also, only around 1% of visitors have made accounts and contributed their reviews or added politicians on the site.

As a summary from my learnings and user feedback:
- users either love or hate the idea.
- users are put off by bad reviews
- users don't like when the ratings don't reflect their own personal beliefs


I've been struggling for a while to figure out how I should proceed with this but I'm starting to think it might be a really bad business idea.
Could use your advice. Thanks!
