Would you want a direct, permission-based connection with brands?

Question

I&rsquo;m validating an early-stage idea called Weev and would really value honest feedback.The idea is to create a direct, permission-based connection between people and brands. Users activate products they already use, an AI learns their preferences, and brands can share relevant updates like launches, collections, or events &mdash; without ads or spam.This is very early (just a validation landing), and I&rsquo;m trying to understand: - Does this problem resonate with you? - Where would something like this break? - What would make you distrust it?Landing for context : https://weev.mocha.app/

Call them "updates" if you want, but that is just semantics. Updates, ads, spam - those are pretty much different words for the same thing. You are asking if we want algorithm-driven marketing pushed at us, and I think the answer to that is a resounding "No!"

Not as described. But I would appreciate a connection with certain brands that have helped me solve a problem in the past. I wish I could go to the same shop and tell them "this was the solution back then, give me the latest iteration". For example: Moto G phone, Brother laser printer, Gap jeans, Geox cordless shoes. Don't waste any money trying to sell to me, just tell me what you have when I need to replace the previous one.

Ah, what a novel idea: extract data from users to figure how to better fleece them ..ahem "offer better services". Isn't this the main reason for intrenet?
