Not really sure if it can be considered a "platform", since they are not interconnecting different 3rd party resources througth the platform but they are providing you their services. I would categorize it as "cloud computing as a service"

They are the actual service provider. So the platform is used to directly sell their own products. If I make a platform to let you rent my cars, I'm a car renter because my revenues come from you renting my cars and not from you using the platform itself

Maybe I’m biased due to having poor luck, but why is dating so hard? Everyone just wants the next best thing and no one is ever satisfied. One argument and people sprint for the door instead of reconciling as they have “options.”

People on dating apps seem like they’re only on there to validate themselves to feel better when they get “likes” or “swipes,” but will not respond when messaged.

I honestly don’t think true love is a real thing.

A startup offered me stock options for my support. Now they want to start paying me part time and also offer me increased stake in the company.
