There's no way those apps make money
Why write that comment instead of looking it up? They make a lot of money, which has been widely reported since they started. Even without knowing that from the evidence you gotta be very ignorant of humanity to think they don't make money. You know those bot comments on YouTube that are on almost every video now, with a NSFW profile pic and always write "ANYONE IN 2089? ๐" (with random future years)? They are used because they work, people reply and contact them and then they get scammed. That's on a way more idiotic and deprived level than people paying for ai chat bots, it's not even close.
And you've shown with your comment that you're pretty damn stupid too, you just state something without even trying to find out for yourself and without realising how the only thing you've succeeded at is showing everyone here how dumb you are.
You underestimate the commonality of brutal dating scene, bad patenting, and loneliness. People are shelling out for those apps.
