Thanks for your opinion. First of all, FB ad has the same issues. All the 171 downloaders won't be your users even though they organically downloaded. Based on our past three years of experiences with many mobile app marketing, less than 5% becomes only the retention users. On the other hand, some of our hunters become real users of the makers (and even though we didn't track the number yet) it seems more than 5%. Maybe @teamhumble can share his experience with Mosaeek campaign.

Makers have three main benefits by running campaign on Reviewhunt.

1. Initial tractions - Regardless of the users become retention users (it means they keep using after their first experience), genuine downloads/usage numbers are highly important for the initial stage. Especially for mobile apps, you need a certain downloads and App Store reviews to get more attention.
2. Searchable content - When people search their product, it is highly important that many content that users have shared are popped up via Google search or Youtube search. For the initial product, this is also very difficult job to gather natural reviews. Via Reviewhunt, over 20% of the participants are creating very detailed review content, and our client loves that part.

3. Influencers - We are constantly attracting top level influencers on Reviewhunt, and already some top level are joining now. For example,

This channel has over 66K subscribers and each video has at least 1K views. There are already mid-mega level Youtubers and Instagrammers are joining Reviewhunt, and our makers can attract them with far more efficient cost level.

Plus, we do run strong moderation system for checking entire submissions via Reviewhunt. Any wrong/abusing/low quality submissions are rejecting by us.
