Here's my opinion, a website can be great and the underlaying technology can be vaporware. I personally was able to use the P2P platform when it was released years ago. It blew my mind and I was psyched to see it advance and get more users. The missing piece was there was no way to monetize the use, it was peer to peer based on bitcoin. I am expecting that the next iteration will revolve around use of the VERI tokens and this will demonstrate value in having tokens.
I am interested in veritaseum based on their history of working technology. Could they have a flashier website? Sure, would it have increased the participation in the crowdsale, yes maybe, and your stake would be lower because of that and a higher float.
