    I mean it’s probably better than the current dating apps built by perverse incentives. What private dating apps want is to string you along for money. Even if this isn’t the solution to the problem, I think their incentives are more honest.

      Yea, I’d MUCH rather use one that’s actually interested in me finding someone compatible and not keeping me swimming up stream. Though still kinda’ have to have the free time, money, and willpower to date.
