  • Hi and thank you for sending me over those resources! Those are excellent and I’ve just bookmarked them to watch/read later today.

    Seems like you’re suggesting that many app developers take one step forward and two steps back? I agree and I think (in most cases) that’s due to a conflict of interest- monetization.

    A lot of apps monetize “hope” and require users to continue using these apps. What if dating apps worked perfectly and users found their “partners” very quickly and then permanently deleted the apps? They wouldn’t be very profitable.

    Now, what if these apps had algorithms work against its users and dragged on the entire process for many months/years? These apps would be a lot more profitable. Unfortunately, that’s exactly what they do.

    The platform I suggest is free from this “hope-monetization” conflict of interest. There would be no algorithm working against users and the app itself would be incredibly simple. Only a few pages and no swiping involved so users are encouraged to go about their lives and not stay at home swiping a stupid app.

    I understand I may have only answer a small portion of your feedback (and may have missed to bigger picture), but I will read/listen through the resources you attached and get back to this
