Questions about this idea
- Is Frustration with Hover Measurement Service a startup idea?
- Not directly. These are complaints about a product or service people already use, and the fix belongs first to that provider. The page shows what is frustrating users and how badly — not an open market to start a company in.
- How many people have this problem?
- 6 different people described it independently, in 6 mentions, the earliest from 17 Sept 2018 and the most recent from 10 Sept 2026. The quotes, with dates and links to the originals, are in the Evidence section.
- Is this problem getting worse?
- Status: steady — no change the counts can show. 0 people raised it in the last 30 days and 1 in the 30 days before; the status compares its share of everything collected from the same source, so collecting more or less cannot create a trend.
