At one point it, like years ago, it was only kind of shitty…
Then 2 things happened around the same time:
Kippo decided to just abandon improving the actual profile/matching system, and decided to turn the app into basically habbo hotel. It does not work well, and they started monetizing more heavily to pay for developing this, stopped improving the dating profiles and matching completely.
AND
Tons and tons of girls (18 or barely older) began becoming EGirls/TwitchThots, realizing being pretty and playing some popular game was a great way to get simps. Many, many of the profiles on Kippo now are just obviously this, with links to their Twitch or OnlyFans, only playing games that have huge audiences on Twitch.
Interesting, I didn’t realize it was around that long, though I don’t use dating apps so I’m not the most plugged in. I’m really not sure how they continue to exist, honestly, but I guess people are hopeful they’ll pan out for them one day.

It used to have a lot more genuine people on it.

The even more insane one is the 4chan dating app… Duolicious or duos or something.
I’ve never heard of it but I can smell it from here.
That has to be up there with “worst ideas I’ve ever heard,” lol. I don’t know why you’d want to invite that digital hellscape into your real life.
