Setting aside all of the other info that was leaked, knowing that the only profiles you see are actual, real people would be nice.

Way back when I last used a dating site, a significant percentage of profiles ended up being placeholders for scams of some sort.

In fact, several texted me a link to some bogus "identity verification" site under the guise of "I get too many fake bot profile hits"... Read the fine print, and you're actually signing up for hundreds of dollars worth of pron subscriptions.

If the dating app itself verified people were real, AND took reports of spam seriously, AND kept that information in a way that wasn't insecure, it'd be worth it.
