[+] TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world -12 points 1 month ago (5 children) is that what you tell yourself? you really think a government dating app is going to help get you laid? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 10 child comments replies: [–] Abyssian@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago (1 child) I think it's more that the entire business model of dating apps means they profit from people staying single and looking, not finding long term relationships. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world -1 points 1 month ago* but that's not really how they work. they have the same business model as most apps, as in all of it comes from a few dumbasses who spend $1000s out of desperation. the vast majority of their users spend nothing. permalink fedilink source parent [–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 3 points 1 month ago (1 child) I think they think an app that isn't being run by a corporation for profit would help them get laid. In theory the government could run and app for this purpose but I don't think it would work well in practice at least not in the US. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Abyssian@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago* Dumb women with low standards for our strong white trash base, make sure smart people never meet each other, and for the attractive minors who sign up lying about their ages... well, I'm sure you know they go to new Presidential sex dungeo... I mean... The "East Wing." permalink fedilink source parent [–] httperrorcode@sh.itjust.works 1 point 1 month ago the govt is more likely to have aligned incentives with you when it comes to finding a partner. imo this feels vaguely distopian (not that dating apps don't) permalink fedilink source parent [–] Hupf@feddit.org 0 points 1 month ago Public ≠ the government. permalink fedilink source parent [–] AlteredEgo@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 month ago* Hahaha! You could have private ones but non-profit. Not sure the size of the minimum network effect though. Probably lower than for social media. Maybe we should add education courses on relationships too. And free therapy. It's guberment all the way down! permalink fedilink source parent
