I don’t know what this is
Brave was also made by a guy who got kicked out of Mozilla for being homophobic. The cryptocurrency stuff is brave also a major scam, it’s a crypto that must first be converted into another crypto before it can be converted into real money. How is that a “currency”?
They also kill performance if you’re still using a hard drive as your system drive. I know we should all be using SSDs, it’s 2023, but sometimes it’s not always possible
In a lot of irl spaces where I live, women can enter on discounted prices or for free, and this is done by the ownership to prevent the bar or club from becoming a sausage fest. Online dating doesn’t have that, so it ends up with 80% of the userbase being guys, and all the issues that causes.
I’m not saying that online dating needs to copy that model and start getting gross/sleazy promoters, I’m just saying there’s a reason why it’s used at clubs and bars. A more equal gender split would do a lot to improve the online dating experience.
It’s definitely getting worse across the board with everything lately, that’s true. 5-10 years ago online dating was probably a ton better.
Yeah I hate the commodification of every aspect of our lives. I’ll hold out from using the dating apps for as long as possible
Same, I agree mostly. Though I find being able to date offline and in real life, for lack of better terms, to be worth it. It also puts you ahead of all the people who just use online dating in a way, because you have a real connection with the person you are talking to.
But the profit motive is inherent to all the online dating apps. It’s what decides how the algorithms work. There is no app for just meeting people seperate from that.
Are they though? Isn’t loneliness at an all time high among young people in industrialised nations? Could the commodification of relationships though apps be a possible reason for that?
Because I find the idea of letting some profit driven algorithm decide who you date, and the commodification of dating, a bit sad.
You can adjust the age filter in tinder I think. Never used the app though, but my friends say there is a setting for that.
That is super depressing
Johannesburg lmao. The disorganization and urban sprawl there, that also connects Joburg to Pretoria should be a crime against urban planning. The East Rand, Midrand, Wits, all of it. Apartheid spacial planning and our failure to address it has really messed us up.
Our wild emotes showing up on other instances must be something lol
