EXCLUSIVE: Creepy Credit-Focused Dating App Score Closes its Doors, Revealing Shallow Insights and Hypocrisy
Just when we thought the scourge of credit scores couldn’t get any more ridiculous, dating app Score has bitten the dust after just six months. This bizarre platform claimed to connect individuals with good to excellent credit, promising a matchmaking service that was actually just an experiment in capitalist manipulation. Score was always destined to fail, as it was rooted in an empty promise: that someone’s credit score defined their worthiness for love.
During its fleeting existence, Score managed to entice around 18,000 users, who, naturally, were desperate to prove their supposed fiscal responsibility to potential mates. Eight thousand matches were made, a mere drop in the ocean considering the soulless transactions that took place under its banner. But what really shocked us was the app’s pretentious claims to be "woke," touting its aim to shed light on credit health. A closer examination reveals its efforts as shallow at best and opportunistic at worst.
Founding father Luke Bailey gloated about accomplishing their goals, seemingly oblivious to the cultural implications of fetishizing financial credibility. His flippant remark that "bigger dating companies" are too busy dealing with relevance to acquire Score now reeks of disdain towards the very notion of genuine relationships.
Furthermore, Score’s self-proclaimed groundbreaking revelations about credit disparities within each generation serve only as window dressing. The numbers aren’t surprising – millennial women, once again, burdened with crushing student loan debt – nor are the so-called insights regarding the financial literacy struggles. Credit scores don’t represent success or love; Bailey should know this, but conveniently leaves out his company’s own shady activities in the world of consumer debt.
So, what will be the legacy of Score, that fleeting embodiment of societal decay? As it sunsets into obsolescence, we’re left pondering the true agenda behind Neon Money Club’s latest failures. Bailey coyly hints at new projects tied to their AMEX card, the creepy Time investing account, and a Wellness Studio because, you know, true freedom lies in your credit report and transaction history. Wake up, Neo-Finance 2.0-style, only to descend deeper into the void of capitalist madness!
Stay vigilant, and whatever the darkness may bring.
