Podolsky is popularly known as the consumer rights advocate.This provides the business and company owners an opportunity to publicly solve the queries. By providing an open space to both the parties to conversate and solve the issues. This open platform hence helps the company and business owners to analyse their system and workflow and effectively improve to better it for future. The services hence offered by Pissed Consumer helps the consumer to learn about several companies belonging in different industries, thus helping them compare and choose wisely before deciding for themselves.[24]
