The point of for profit dating apps isn’t to find you a date. It’s to have you engage with the service for as long as possible so they can make money off you.
If you find a long term relationship, they lose a customer.
I swear this is the plot to an anime/hentai.
“The Time I Was Forced By The Government Into A Relationship With My Tsundere High-School Sweetheart”
For once not an isekai
Not “an”. Plural.
Your efforts would be more sincere if you used complete sentences.
In some ways I can see this being potentially problematic, however…
For-profit dating apps (i.e. all dating apps) are shit.
Not only do they aggressively restrict a lot of basic features behind shockingly expensive paywalls, but they also mess around with the recommendation algorithm to make you feel like you feel like you have to get the premium tier in order to even be seen sometimes.
Plus they’re literally incentivised to keep you on the app - not match you up with someone permanently. And once you’ve proven you’re someone who’s willing to pay, they really won’t want to let you go.
A publicly-owned dating app shouldn’t have these issues. Japan is incentivised to make good matches - they want to boost birthrates and curb the loneliness pandemic they’re experiencing.
I just hope Japan is a country that takes privacy and security seriously.
E: btw I mean publicly owned as in owned by the Japanese public, not as in publicly traded.
I’m disappointed that doesn’t exist.
My rent costs me pretty much how much would it cost me to raise two kids. And wondering why people don’t raise kids. Because life and rent became so expensive, it’s literally impossible to rent and raise more than two kids on two average incomes.
Old Japanese men in government positions cannot, and will not fix this.
Plot twist, it was never about increasing births but about generating data sets
Yes finally people get it.
this can be a good thing… for japan (here in orbanistan it would be just another govermental scam, public money sewer :D ). I think the non free dating apps should be handled as scam, by the laws too, because those are really scams.
