I hadn't heard of this app, but it sounds like it's even worse than standard apps, which are already a shithole and waste of time. I wonder what the skew is there as well. I bet it's something like 95% men, 4% bots/sex workers/scammers, and 1% women, lol.
At one point it, like years ago, it was only kind of shitty...
Then 2 things happened around the same time:
Kippo decided to just abandon improving the actual profile/matching system, and decided to turn the app into basically habbo hotel. It does not work well, and they started monetizing more heavily to pay for developing this, stopped improving the dating profiles and matching completely.
AND
Tons and tons of girls (18 or barely older) began becoming EGirls/TwitchThots, realizing being pretty and playing some popular game was a great way to get simps. Many, many of the profiles on Kippo now are just obviously this, with links to their Twitch or OnlyFans, only playing games that have huge audiences on Twitch.
It used to have a lot more genuine people on it.
Interesting, I didn't realize it was around that long, though I don't use dating apps so I'm not the most plugged in. I'm really not sure how they continue to exist, honestly, but I guess people are hopeful they'll pan out for them one day.
The even more insane one is the 4chan dating app... Duolicious or duos or something.
That has to be up there with "worst ideas I've ever heard," lol. I don't know why you'd want to invite that digital hellscape into your real life.
Worst part is that it got hacked and leaked so all the profiles are public info with name, picture and location.
I've never heard of it but I can smell it from here.
I dunno there is the dating app were it's supposedly only has famous people on it and you pay and submit an application to get likely lotteried to maybe but probably not go on a date with one of the like 5 famous guys on there I think they pay to be on there.
