💰Money and Twitter (X.com) Advertising

The most important feature of dating and meeting websites is having a large number of members, such that people can find others locally.

Twitter (x.com) is the only mainstream social media site which we have found will run adverts for us. Due to a lack of money, we have cut down the number of countries were are advertising in and are restricting ourselves to the USA, UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, France, Germany, Netherlands, Denmark and Sweden. Our adverts will run for most of this week (starting Monday 25th November 2024). We have no intention of continuing advertising in the near future.

We have explained before major social media sites and apps are free, because they obtain large amounts of money from the stock market (this means your pension funds), government, universities, billionaires and advertising. Their claims of privacy may only be true to a point. For example, end-to-end encrypted apps can make backup copies of your messages encrypted with the company’s key. Even if you turn backups off, all of your contacts will have to do the same. Otherwise your end-to-end encrytped messages aren’t secure. Some will upload your phone number and that of everyone in your smartphone’s contact list to their servers. Now they have your real identity and that of everyone you talk to. The same social media sites which are free now, censored information back in 2021, which caused the problems which has led you to this website. They deleted meeting groups for unvaccinated people when they grew to 10,000 members.

Nobody wealthy is going to invest in meeting sites for the unvaccinated. How many millionaires or billionaires warned you not to have a covid vaccine? None… Nobody cares. If more people paid for a subscription or donated money, we would have more money for advertising. Creating an account here isn’t enough. If you don’t pay for a subscription, we simply won’t have any more money to in turn advertise our website. Even a few months ago, people told us they had no idea meeting sites for unvaccinated people even existed. If you can afford it, you should pay for a subscription and additionally donate money to us.

People underestimate the value of large numbers of people doing one small thing. If just a fraction of the people on this site donated $5 to us, we would have money for newspaper adverts almost every month (Canada’s Druthers and the UK’s The Light Paper, along with more advertising on Twitter/X.com). While we were a free website from March 2023 to July 2024, we had hundreds of people on this website from the UK, yet the donations we received would not even pay for one advert in the Light Paper.

Currently this website loses money.

Our original intention was to be a free website. The donations were less than the cost of hosting and advertising this website. So we switched in August 2024 to be a low-cost one. Currently what we charge for a whole year is less than other websites charge for just one month.

We tried being a free website for almost 17 months. Free websites eventually suffer from spam and annoying users. The extra step of having to pay a small amount of money for the ability to send other users messages is a useful one.

Several members of this website have told us they will not send messages to other members here with blank profiles and no photos. Effectively we are paying money for advertising to help the unvaccinated men and women of the world and, in return, people don’t fill in their profiles and the ones that do won’t message the ones that don’t. This has reached such a level that we either we will cease advertising altogether or at least restrict it to countries with a recent history of subscriptions and donations.

As we have said before we have the Private Gallery feature such that photos will only be shown to members you approve first (this requires a paid subscription before the functionality is available). Additionally people can provide photos of themselves wearing hats and/or sunglasses or taken at obscure angles to protect their privacy.

We have noticed some people join this website and then delete their account either the same day or within a few days. We are starting to recognise several people who constantly join our website for a few days, delete their account and then weeks later go through the same cycle again. Dating and meeting websites for the unvaccinated don’t have the advertising budgets of mainstream sites and have only existed for a fraction of the time. We see it again and again. People delete their accounts and a month later new people from their city join up. These people will miss each other.

We generally contact people if they join from a country with very few members. Some members tell us they are prepared to travel to another country in order to meet someone. This will be expensive and risky. Most countries have similar vaccination percentages of 70 to 80%. Is this really the best way to go about things? If ten to twenty people in a certain country or region were to donate $10 then we would have the funds to pay Twitter/X.com to advertise our site in their country. This, of course, is dependent on the existence of Twitter accounts with large numbers of unvaccinated followers, otherwise most of the advertising budget could get wasted.

Some nationalities are well represented on this website, because we paid hundreds of dollars for advertising specifically in their country. They are unlikely to want to meet someone half way across the world if they have tens of people on this site in their own region. The sensible solution is to extend our advertising to other countries, but we cannot do this without support.
