On the "misaligned incentives" thing, I wonder if you could have a dating site that works as follows:
- The user chooses a charity of their choice.
- All subscription charges are kept in "escrow".
- If after two years the user has spent at least one year in a long-term relationship as a result of the app, the app gets the money.
- If after two years there's no success, the money goes to the charity.
That way, the app has an incentive to get users into relationships that can at least last a year. But the user has no incentive to lie (they can never get the money back, for example).
Details might need tweaking, but you get the idea.
