There was a startup that followed your example called Fashism. (yes, really)

It received venture capital, but died a painful death.

Interesting. Sounds like it does share some ideas, but with a different goal. This blurb says it was trying to get people to complete for a spot on a leaderboard, whereas A/B testing is about helping people make every-day decisions.

I think the leaderboard was the original idea, but then they later pivoted.

That's closer! But the devil is in the details. They have you looking at one image, reading the question, and rating up/down and even commenting. In the image, they have a full body shot, with simply "Does this work?" Does what work? The glasses, the shoes, the dress?

This takes a lot more effort than simply tapping one of two photos without reading anything. A/B responses can be given in less than a second. It's all snap judgements -- no reading is necessary.

Disturbing naming ethos. Not even Demi Moore charming backing them up could stand that.

Suddenly... #HopeInHumanityRestored
