Four humans. Zero bots. Every score on this site comes from a named editor who actually tested the tool. Here's who they are and why their credentials matter.
8 years in tech journalism. Previously a staff writer at TechCrunch and contributor to The Verge. Specializes in social media tools, scraping, and the consumer privacy landscape.
Founded GoomView Hub in 2024 after realizing no affiliate site in the IG-viewer space was reviewing tools with any rigor. Sets editorial direction and personally tests every tool that enters the Top 10.
6 years researching digital privacy. CIPP/E certified (Certified Information Privacy Professional, Europe) - the gold standard for GDPR compliance work.
Tests every tool that ships on the Hub for privacy red flags: tracking pixels, browser fingerprinting, third-party data brokers, suspicious cookie behavior. If a tool is doing something shady, Sarah finds it first.
5 years in software QA, previously at two consumer SaaS companies. Built our internal benchmarking suite - every tool gets run against the same set of 10 IG profiles on the same hardware.
Marcus owns the speed and feature-parity columns of every review. If a tool claims to support reels, Marcus has tested it on reels.
JD with a focus on digital law and platform liability. Reviews every legal article on the Hub before it ships - including jurisdiction-specific notes on the legality of scraping public Instagram data.
Priya's review is what allows us to publish our "Is it legal?" guides with confidence. She also vets our DMCA and privacy policy language.
Most affiliate review sites in this niche are a single person - often anonymous, often using AI to fill word counts. We built GoomView Hub differently on purpose. Every score on this site is signed by a named editor whose background you can verify. Every legal claim is reviewed by a JD. Every privacy assertion is checked by a CIPP/E.
That's not a marketing line. It's why we update slower than some sites and faster than the rest - we won't ship a review until at least two team members have signed off.
