Will comment I think the hardest thing is getting users. I tried to make a dating site almost a decade ago, I learned a lot from it but I had to seed it with fake profiles and yeah, ultimately it went nowhere.
What is this 'webring' thing on that site

Huh it looks like an old thing (wiki)
- jerojero 5y agoI think dating sites are particularly tricky because you rely much more on active users than simply user generated content. Think of twitter, although active users are very much important, once a tweet is there it's there and it's available for everyone so the website gets a little more valuable with every tweet that is posted. But a dating site? Someone that makes a profile adds nothing if they abandon it after a couple days! So although I agree with you that getting users is indeed one of the biggest challenges; I think your experience was particularly bad :)
- ge96 5y agohaha it's funny how that works, supply and demand semi tangent, YT I was against it for a bit, but it's hard to beat their user engagement against because of the ads being applied to videos even if you didn't want them there, but I also realized I don't pay for their service and their bandwidth/processing happily gulps down my GBs of files.
