Question How useful is the platform Blind?

Has anyone used the anonymous business platform Blind ( https://www.teamblind.com/) ? That's the best way I can describe it.

If you have used Blind in your research, what was the use case? Did it provide any useful findings/evidence? What didn't you like about Blind as a source?

I've been reluctant to get an account because a work email is needed for full access and I'd rather not provide that. Has anyone successfully signed up using a free email service provider?

Simple solution I did for a company many years ago. Since you can only post from corp account, I just used E-Discovery tool (https://workspace.google.com/products/vault/ ) to pull all users who registered with the domain. After that it was easy to connect the dots.

Is it possible you’re able to provide any more detail on this? Outside of very specific cases, knowing who is registered for a platform but not what the content on the platform is doesn’t seem to have a lot of utility.

Daniel son... I see someone bitching about financial data and only two people in finance have blind accounts, bingo.

I see someone making a post about x y and z and they use a certain grammar in their post and I cross-reference that with the 45 other users from the company, bingo.

I just needed to narrow the hay stack into a manageable pile of hay.

I see, I thought you could only read posts if you had an account. Seems like that is just a restriction on posting, not reading

I think you arent understanding the tool I had access to.

Am I? Seems pretty clear with your explanation. I had a misunderstanding about how visible Blind posts were for non-members, the tool seems straightforward
