It's interesting to me that, instead of internalizing what people are saying, you argue with them. If you're that convinced that your market is big enough, fucking build it.

It's even more interesting that as soon as someone gave you an actionable way to create this using existing services (a browser extension), you jumped on it because of privacy/security.

When you're looking at preferences, the range is absolutely immense. Tagging an apartment as having "a view" does not mean that that view will be of what you want. The alternative is using a degree of ML or perhaps AI to learn what kind of view you find pleasing and tailor suggestions to you. Yet, this alternative is worse for privacy than a browser extension and building it would be obscenely expensive so you'd need some hope of going after a big market to make it worth it.
