Assuming this has filters, you can do "show me anyone who is interested in snowboarding around my age in Santiago" and be able to connect with people before you even land there.
Great for dating worldwide too for a variety of reasons.
Sure, it's Chatroulette, but it seems like it has a lot more potential. It's interesting that it is a South Korean company but they have clearly focused on a global concept (most of the users are not in Korea).
- tmpz22 5y agoThe more granularity and internationalization the higher likelihood it'll be used for grooming, sex trafficking, and fraud. Tinder, Snapchat, TikTok, and other mediums are already rife with it.
- EMM_386 5y agoI agree with you, but at what point does this become "this is why we can't have nice things"? One of the reasons dating sites like Match don't work easily worldwide is because there are too many variables. Local customs, society judging online dating, personal information that may work in one area but not another ("do you attend church on Sunday?", etc). With the added fact it's essentially live FaceTime, you also get rid of people pretending to be a 17 year old girl when they are really a 40 year old man, or claiming they are are a US military veteran who needs some quick help when they are actually a Nigerian prince.
