If an altruistic group of numbers-inclined people was to start working together to improve the world in a non-existential risk reducing kind of way, it strikes me that a dating site may be a fantastic thing to try.
Why altruistic? If it’s worth anything, it’s worth money. If it won’t even pay its creators for the time they’ll put in to create it, where’s the value?
I am not convinced it is the optimal route to startup success. If it was, I would be doing it in preference over my current startup. It is highly uncertain and requires what looks like basic research, hence the altruism angle. If it succeeds, yes, it shouldake a lot of money and nobody should deprive it’s creators of the fruits of their labour.
