I'm suspecting these companies are trying to use Data Caps to "Deter Piracy" without saying as much.
Unfortunately; the reality now is that these Data Caps do not just affect rampant pirates or people who download a lot of things. They are trying to justify an outdated policy that no longer works as intended; and hoping customers won't notice them taking a bit more profit off the top.
They've been more than caught now and the practice must stop or customers will get federal regulators involved
Fwy uses her own set of neos sometimes; in context when it makes sense among friendly folks.
So Fwy/fwyfwy/fwyself are all words you may occasionally see fwy use. Fwy doesn't make others use it though, we do appreciate it being used though; if someone addressing us can pickup the subtleties of it well enough to make the attempt. (Fwy promises it's not complicated)
Fwyself personally does use normal pronouns as well; such as She or singular They too; it helps confuse people less. Fwy sees no reason to throw up a barrier; only provide people subtle ways to signal intent or speaking context through either normal pronoun usage or fwyfwy neopronon usages; as that helps Fwy quickly route and allow the right entity to respond more quickly if they are used.
No one else in our System has ventured to publicise any neos yet besides fwyself; they simply don't seem to mind not having done so; particularly since using neos can get one singled out for harrassment fast in some internet communities.
As an otherkin; I can personally attest that I don't personally mind being called human; but that's because one of my OtherSelf entities is an angel; which is humanoid enough to confuse some.
So we don't consider it malicious usually unless it's done in a specific situation/context.
Fwy am also plural too; but we speak in unity as a System via Melody; our resident Flygon/Angel.
I don't mind speaking as if we are human though personally though; and do understand that some Others do not feel the same; as my partner in this realm most certainly dislikes some human terms. Fwy still gets occasionally corrected when fwy absentmindedly drops human words in conversations. It's something we're familiar with; and I'm genuinely glad the admin team is willing to hear things out and make things a little more inclusive where it makes sense when they can.
I think not.
We've been bathing in private for the past 200 or so years hereabouts. It is difficult, if not improbable, to reverse such a trend in society and culture so quickly.
While I may actually feel this is a thing that society might benefit from; I don't see this happening outside of nations with a lower societal taboo, and more robust cultural norms and practices on the subject of nudity. It works in Japan simply because that's how their entire society has been structured from the start, and their society largely agreed that communal bathhouses made much more sense logistically and economically; largely due to the fact that it is an island nation, and land space is more precious there.
Furthermore; I personally also prefer privacy. As a trans individual; that privacy is strongly necessary to me for many valid reasons concerning my own safety and health; and for ensuring others do not feel unsafe; regardless of their reasons for feeling that way.
Society is not ready for this kind of thing anymore and has mostly chosen to abandon the practice to antiquity.
I genuinely hope this works out and can be replicated across the world. Diabetes is quite a problem for some; and most importantly; it's something you can't really easily prevent from occurring if you're moderately predisposed to it.
I don't think this app is problematic. I think it's attempting something interesting. Whether that will work or not will remain to be seen.
As with many "untested" dating app concepts; "May the user(/buyer) beware." My advice to people who doubt the app is to 'avoid it'. There's plenty of valid reasons why you may feel that it won't work. I'm not going to invalidate those feelings nor those experiences.
Enough people will vote with their feet; either by using it, using and quitting it, or not using it at all; that we will probably see within a few years if it works or if it quickly dies and languishes in obscurity.
I certainly wouldn't mind seeing how well things performed in 5 years from now for this concept. I do feel it could help, especially if the boilerplate rejection text is designed intelligently enough. I certainly feel like enough people struggle with mental health that what they are trying to do could be beneficial to encouraging people not to act impulsively. I think providing mental health resources right there in the app may allow rejectees to seek help they need; instead of pinning their hopes on finding a potential mate to address their issues, then lashing out at, or stalking, those potential mates when they're rejected.
To be clear; I do understand that many kinds of scary or bad experiences are a thing for some dating app users. I simply feel that, for those people who have not had such an experience and might feel safe or safer with such a messaging mechanic in a dating app; I do not see the harm in it.
At no point do I recommend this app anyone who feels that it's unsafe to do anything but 'ghost' a bad match-up.

Agreed; when an AI is used to bring things to the attention of a qualified human handler; the two working in tandem can be pretty effective.
AI alone should never make decisions; and humans should always evaluate an AI's findings carefully before acting on them.
We can no longer trust anything that is specifically sent to us via digital means.
Technologies like the Document Scanner and even the Photocopier will now have to encode secret data to authenticate that a real, functioning machine has digitized the document.
This can in fact, cause a great amount of trouble for people.
People will be required to never digitize themselves handwriting all letters of the alphabet; lest their handwriting be vulnerable to an AI learning it.
This. Pull judges directly from the Federal Circuit; run them for 8-10 years; then send them back to the Federal Circuit as a 'Distinguished' judge.
Supreme Court Judges should resist political pressure; but they should not be appointed for life.
Info: A 'Distinguished Judge' is a former SCOTUS justice who served their complete term and cannot be re-nominated to the Supreme Court ever again. It is a lifetime title granted when they make it to the SCOTUS and complete one term.
Whoof. The burn.
Glad to see some people understand how much more problematic Trump is than anything that Harris would be doing.
[transgirl moment]
OMGGG jhbendlvckhedjohfvajodfhvaleRDKHFILU I FUCKING WISH THIS WERE TRUE!
[/transgirl moment]
But alas, it is not true, and the schools are not providing free surgeries. But Trump sure does like to lie about shit. This is why we should NEVER EVER LET HIM WITHIN 9875093847592798728752347527093847805 MILES OF BEING IN THE OVAL OFFICE
TL;DR: Never Vote Trump. Anyone who does is foolishly ignoring his lying.
