      That was my thought process too.

      “This app helps you make friends without algarhythems, or ads, or data tracking”

      “Cool! How do I use it?”

      “By having friends.”

      “But I don’t have friends anymore! I’m over 30, and as work and responsibilities have taken over my daily life, I no longer have the time required to maintain healthy friendships. I was looking to this app to make new friends. How would I do that here?”

      “By having friends”.

        but the us is only 5% of the potential market, and most countries don’t use primarily iphones. western europe is around 35% apple and that’s as high as it goes internationally

        iOS is 60% of users in the US, where the author is from.

        But only 30% of the known universe, where the author is from.

        Apple stuff is super expensive here, so few of my friends have iOS. But it’s their work phone.
