 Wavlake and Primal share an investor. Hivemind Ventures, aka Max Webster. 

Wavlake and Primal both engage in matching npubs to email adresses. This can be then used to sell nostr data, as it can be attached to data outside of nostr. 

Wavlake and Primal both offer « trending » visibility. (Primal came out the gate with trending algo while basic nostr features were still lacking. Talk about development priorities)

Wavlake is totally fine with people gaming the leaderboard and removed the data I used to spot the cheater (that man likes trending) (I was using supporter counts to spot the fake, Wavlake removed it after I communicated with them about the manipulation) 

Primal would like to convince me that their advert containing their investor and another shitfluencer was a genuine conversation and not an ad hidden in a podcast/vlog. 

🤷‍♂️
