Why do dating/matrimonial platforms end up going for unethical practices

Most of the marriages around me are done through freelancing middle men who show matches.. I have only seen one couple getting married through marriage site and that too it was for second marriage.. till a level I can understand elite matrimonial sites but what about normal matrimonial sites... are people really getting married through marriage sites how many marriages are happening through sites.. how they are earning so much revenue through marriage sites?

I'm having an Idea for an open source marriage app. (Not a business) Its made for youth, of youth, by youth for GenZ, Millenials who are not interested in the traditional constructs of society and is looking outside. How many viners here can come together for this project. Think of it like "The Product Folks " community but for marriage. 1. KYC Should be done only by the boys/girls. No parents/nosy relatives interference whatsoever 2. Their likes and dislikes is hidden for others on the platform until the other gender initiates a conversation with them and accepts criterias mutually. 3. It will have a bunch of mutually compatibility check sessions with feedback form for each other. 4. No AI allowed on images on the platform. 5. Fees collected from the customers would be solely for the maintenance and upgrade of the app. 6. Equal or equivalent criteria for matching guys n girls. 7. Proposing app name as Utopic !!! Would love to know the opinions of other viners . @biryanienthu I read somewhere you worked on an idea on this space and would like to know your stance/opinions/other valuable inputs on this.

What started as an Instagram-inspired social experiment has turned into a startup idea. (Refer: Men https://grapevine.in/post/808462ef-8ae0-4269-aaa3-c683ba1194bb and women https://grapevine.in/post/6bcaeffa-0cac-44a2-98a5-fc7a14786e85 survey) Few observations: 1. Our generation has moved on from orthodox thinking (baring few people) to more emotional compatibility 2. Men have more worldly expectations, while women seek spiritual features; none are right/wrong as long as they find each other. 3. Very glad that no one 'expected' the partner to take up gendered roles as dictated by society So, coming to the matchmaking platform. The idea is to have all aspects of life considered - personality, profession, family, demographics, physical attributes, etc. and have a weighted scale against them. Though I have my doubts here 1. An Introvert will need an extrovert to seek them but will be drained of social battery later. How do they match? 2. Physical attributes pull down people who aren't confident with their looks; that doesn't relate to how good/bad they are as partners. But without pictures, it will be a risky surprise element. 3. Prevent parents from creating accounts on children's behalf. Probably a social media log-in Share your thoughts on the compatibility algorithm and the problems we may face. P.S. I am not a techie, will need someone to actually build this. Will take care of marketing. Let's help someone find their soulmate ❤️ P.P.S. If this takes off, I will change my username to TimaSaparia

Are these websites fooling people? Or anyone is getting matches and getting married through these apps. Are there fake profiles as well? And how to protect from scams. Thanks!

So on reddit there is a community called desi fragrance addicts. People post their queries regarding fragrances and buy based on other people's personal experiences. Due to that, there is a lot of trust over there. But House Of X has been exploiting that trust. They make an account and keep posting in every comment how their perfume brand blanko is good. Normally a person after seeing an advert,knows that they are exaggerating but if the review comes from a trusted one, they tend to believe it. This is what they have been exploiting. Adding a link below to the reddit post exposing the whole charade
