i did this. spend a couple weeks building out my saas.
then got disheartened when the major ad agencies (reddit, facebook) rejected my app because it competes with tinder/etc and is a dating app service augmenter.
so... yeah i left it to rot.
- griffoa 6y agoWhy would ad agencies reject an app?? You are not allowed to advertise Tinder clones??
- purplecats 6y agoI'm not sure what their problem is. In facebook's case, they have a dating app so I'm sure they're not into that. Facebook doesn't give you much actionable feedback. Here's the routine I went through _several times_ publishing my ad there. 1. submit app 2. app gets rejected, and my account gets banned. get a generic message saying dating apps need to adhere to special, strict guidelines, and I need to sign up as a Dating service with Facebook's customer service team. 3. I try to sign up for it, and they tell me I don't qualify as a dating service (cause my app is not a dating service, it's an augmentation on it - getsmartswipe.com). So back to square one after this contradictory mess. 4. I submit repeal to unban me. 5. They unban me. 6. I change some wording hoping maybe that's the change they wanted. 7. go to (1) reddit, similar. I'm sure they made it confusing on purpose but in Reddit's case they took a week to reject it and said I needed to commit a minimum of 30k to advertise dating apps and work directly with them. Made no sense, so I didn't bother retrying with Reddit.
