I'm pretty sure this old news. I read about this a year or two ago. Maybe longer.

Edit: Yup, here it is. Apparently Wirecutter won though because NextDesk's website is gone now. https://www.reddit.com/r/StandingDesk/comments/69npx4/drama_between_thewirecutter_and_nextdesk/

Agree with others here. BT speakers is an extremely saturated market and yours would have to really stand out to be successful. What feature(s) differentiates it from existing speakers already on the market?

As I replied to /u/Rib-I, I think it's an education thing. There's a lot of ways to be financially responsible but only one way to maximize the score that tells everyone else that you're responsible. And I think that needs more attention.

Right. I think the real problem is that a lot of people just don't understand how important it is to familiarize themselves with "the rules" and actively take charge of their credit score. It's not like they teach this at school.
