I think that even if it is only something that interests 25% of people, the data is worth a lot more than the service and perhaps you need to find a way of using it.

I think the user submitted reviews/opinions would be very useful. Since review submission is easy, probably a lot of people might choose to submit their opinions. This would mean that we can asymptotically approach the true crowd opinion about something. This is definitely a hypothesis but the content in such a case would be very useful. Lead generation, brand awareness measurement, quick buy/dont buy decision helper, random content exploration, etc. are some possible uses.
