Interesting idea - for sure a gap in the market - but can this be done with confidence. Does historical data provide accurate predicted results? Like say it picks one as the winner and says this will be 10X more impactful - is that going to be trusted or will users doubt it. I guess they have to trust it but overtime they might collect data that pokes holes in it.
I agree there needs to be a service that scrapes multiple sources to give you your own entertainment list. You can input your preferred country or countries as well as services. Prime, Netflix, HBO MAX, Hulu, Crave etc... are all of these open to scrape their data?
I see the idea and. have thought about this myself - especially know - how do we support the small businesses in our communities even though we can get cheaper alternatives from the giants. How do you promote this type of purchasing patterns. I guess this is similar to what Etsy has done with handmade goods?
You could have a small city by city curated site that sells on behalf of those businesses - though you aren't going to be able to add a lot of margin on this. Since they will just go to the local business to purchase. Maybe what a local business needs is a better platform. You could setup a curator in each city to manage the relationships. For delivery - I guess you could get a uber model going and just drive to locations for pick up and delivery vs standard shipping.

could this be solved by a "glassdoor" for courses type of system? Where individuals take the course and provide ratings on a third party?
