TBH, I like this idea. A problem with Tinder, et al. is that they don’t give a shit about you matching, they want to make money off you. So they’re invested in keeping you on their app as long as possible. An app that has no profit motive because it’s fully funded already eliminates that entirely.
Will it work? Maybe, for the people that want to meet someone and start a family, and are currently having a hard time meeting other similarly minded people. Will it be a major shift in culture? Probably not.
I completely agree. It’s why I’ve never been on the apps, how could I possibly trust them when they clearly don’t want to succeed at their function? It’s also probably why I’ve been single for years…
A fully non-profit transparently administered dating app is a great idea, and I would sign up immediately.
Honestly, I think that you could probably even make something work if you had a one-time-only up-front fee, no advertising, and identification verification combined with criminal background checks (e.g., you couldn’t use it to cheat on your existing spouse, and all the people are real people). Heck, you could even set it so that if someone tried using it for advertising (OnlyFans or similar), you could permanently boot them off, since they’d need to prove identity to sign up in the first place.
Data security though… That would be a bigger problem. You def. would not want to have any kind of data breach once you had that kind of PII in your database.
