I am not a native English speaker, so may be wrong, but as I understand the word, a looky-loo is derogatory for someone with no real intention to buy.
If users do not “realize the app has nothing for them” (your words) before trying the app, by this definition they are NOT looky-loos and you’re unfairly deriding them by calling them that :)
In my humble opinion. No judging and no big deal, just a bit too harsh for my tastes.
- ChrisMarshallNY 2y agoActually, they have plenty of opportunity to realize that it's not for them. We have a site, and the app store page is quite verbose, with videos and a full set of screenshots. One set of folks that might like it, are Zoombombers. They sign up, hoping to use it to cause harm to others, then realize that it isn't actually very good for that. The people the app Serves have a lot of haters (I’m sure some of them hang out here). I try to do my best to shield them; or at least, not make it too easy to attack them. People tend to be cruel, shallow, and puerile. The Internet has allowed us to really riff on our Ids. BTW: As I’m sure you are aware, “Looky-loo” was the term used in the article. It’s not one that I have ever used, myself, or plan to, in the future.
