Author	Thread: "Free" Membership OR Is It?
nomoreusernamesleft View Profile History	"Free" Membership OR Is It? Posted : 11 Nov, 2025 03:54 PM When we download any apps and make an account, we have to agree to the "terms of service." Very few people will actually read those terms and assume that since they didn't have to trade a central currency for the service, that it's "FREE!" 🤣 The mouse thinks the cheese is free, also. Among many things, you are agreeing to exchange your private data for the service of the company. Your data is then sold to marketing companies for an actual central currency, so we do indirectly pay money for the service; its just that we exchange our data which is sold. Since data is the new currency (which is also tied to one's social value or score), the service is not "free,' but it is a tiered trade or exchange. With that understanding, dating apps that market themselves as "Free" are capitalizing on the perception of their service not costing anything. The more time you spend on their site, the more data they can harvest, the more money they make. It's important to recognize the strategies that dating sites use to keep people spending their time on the site. I may be jeopardizing my account here by divulging some of these, but I'll try to not make direct allegations (which are backed up by records), because, frankly, I am here to hopefully meet a true woman of faith that has the Spirit of Christ in her and sets God's words in the highest of regard as the foundation of the faith and of all truth (bonus social credit score points if she is well versed in scripture;). One strategy that dating sites use is to hire ghost writers which manage multiple fake profiles to engage the members and exhaust the limited features that the lowest tiered members are alotted. The fake profiles will view, favorite, or even send a message to the lower tiered members and then they can't engage unless they upgrade to a higher tier which involves directly exchanging a central currency for more features. Another strategy is maintaining profiles that have been abandoned by former members, in their active list of profile results in searches. Yet another strategy which is one of the more egregious strategies is to hide local, active users which might be a potential match from being found in the search results. They will expand the distances between the users in the results to limit the likelihood of them actually matching. To summarize this: Dating sites are financially incentivized to keep people on their sites and do not make much money when people match and close their accounts. And then they have "free" forums so that people can engage in volunteering more data 😂😂😂😂 Post Reply

One way is to use my phone as a phone and not my computer so using apps is verboten. I also have stuck with an older version of windows in the hopes it's not as well designed to spy on me. I also use ad blocking, cookie blocking and other anti tracking software so even this site loses out on advertising. Of course even the software I use to hide my footprint could also be lying and spying on me. The reality is you can't truly trust anybody including those who claim to be Christian. This site has slowly removed perks to the point that now the "free" part means nothing except scammers have now become paying members which just makes it harder to get them removed. I would gladly shell out money if I thought I would find a viable mate here but that's not likely to ever happen. I don't blame the site as it has no control over the quality of women in the world. You may have a better chance then me so I pray that you happen to find that 0.0001%. Post Reply

WalkNTalk View Profile History	"Free" Membership OR Is It? Posted : 12 Nov, 2025 01:58 PM Algorithms are against conservative males finding anyone. I believe everything you wrote. I believe that everyone on the internet freely provide personal and private information to these unseen entities and by design, we get nothing from it. We just waste our words and provide the Prince of the Air more information about us to use against us for that final showdown and what is coming beast kingdom. Anyone that takes his mark can never be saved and all this internet stuff and all the a.i. is leading right up to it. In the future, we cannot buy or sell without taking that mark or micro-chip or invisible ink. All this leads right to it. Even here is the 666 offer. Six months for 6 dollars and 66 cents as their most popular plan. Post Reply
