A good dating app optimized for relationships would disallow a user from having more than five matches at a time, and it would delist the user from search and further matching while they have five matches. Moreover, if the user is non-responsive to solicitations, if only to reject them, the user would again get delisted until their queue had no more than five pending solicitations. Being inactive on the app for seven days, as defined by taking no action in the app, also leads to a delisting. Secondly, money would be charged per message, perhaps 50 cents per received and sent message, so a dollar in total, instead of a subscription fee. This prevents wasteful messages and wasteful matches too. A user can at a time send only one message to another user until a reply is received. The cost is meant to force them off of the app rather soon. Thirdly, humans would at repeated intervals have to prove that they're human by uploading a video of them performing a particular blinking or bodily action, also their ID photo, about the same as was done by login.gov for user registration. Elite users would also be required to share annual STI panel test results, with their matches getting restricted to anything that both test positive for, and in exchange their limits will be increased from five to seven. These days, pictures can be quite fake, so only videos would be accepted, no shorter than 15 seconds in length, and the app will auto-extract pictures from the videos, also matching them to the ID photo and verification video. Any videos older than one year would be deleted. |
