The problem is most people are lazy and don't understand anything. They just use the app they know, even if it sucks.
If you got it to be popular it could work , but I don't see how you could.
I have had this idea in my mind of building a privacy-first, open source dating app built on "privacy by design" principles. Still didn't get to it tho.
It would be like old-school OKCupid, minus all the paid bullshit.
old school okcupid was from 2004, before video on the internet meant a 320x240 quicktime clip that was 2 minutes long.
nobody in 2026 is ever going to use the internet like we did in 2004. they don't have the patience or the attention span. it also would be a phone app, not a website. nobody uses websites anymore
