Ugh, and you know that the only way this is going to end is when enough teenagers commit suicide due to harassment and bullying from this app. Like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram wasn't enough. Truly a sad world we live in.

Cool. Another tool for telling fatties, fuglies, weirdos, women with opinions etc. just how unwanted and worthless they are. A most welcome addition.



I can only think and hope this is some sort of horrific April Fool's joke just far too late. This is a pretty shocking idea, particularly for those of us who are already suffering from low self esteem/depression.

An app where you can review people? I see no positive or useful purpose behind its existence to be honest. I would never refer to something like this before meeting someone. Finding truth through asking someone their opinion of an individual is bad enough due to the sheer amount of personal bias and experiences that may influence said opinion. But a rating system where everyone has free reign? Probably the stupidest idea I've heard this year.

As a hypothetical, let's create a fictional but realistic high school male's situation. A girl turns you down when you ask her out? Instant 0/5, claim she is a slut to save your poor self esteem, everyone joins in because witchhunts are great, and all of the sudden everyone hates her because that many poor ratings and labels can't be wrong, right? Our actions are justified because this many people said it too! Don't you see?

This is a magnified cancer waiting for a catalyst. You think user metascore are bad? No one will be safe from this. If its taken seriously your job could be on the line if a smart enough customer decides that they didn't like the service they got.

Seriously, there is no positive income here. Absolutely terrible idea.

It really is just an awful idea. I'm sure if this takes off we'll see a few suicides and lawsuits x~x I really hope these people are prepared for what theyll be responsible for



Oh, you can bet your asses that they are not going to do that in europe. People are going to sue their asses like there's no tomorrow. We actually have something called personal rights, although I think a site like this also violates human rights, especially the right for dignity.

I predict this whole thing will horribly fail and the makers will probably get to jail if they pull this through.
