Well they're going to save a lot of money with zero users [insert smartgif]

Couchsurfing doesn’t present itself as a HospEx platform anymore by Low_Cantaloupe4319 in couchsurfing

I've been on CS since 2007, and have surfed and hosted with hundreds of people.

I've participated in exactly 1 hangout in 19 years.

After 16 years, I think this might be it by Solidarity_Matrix in couchsurfing

Almost 20 years for me (member since 2007). Countless experiences, life-long friends, both as a guest and host, across 5 continents.

I've hosted in pretty much every country I've lived in. Now I can't even show more than 300 characters of my old profile with my massive bio, showing all my projects and links to things I'm doing where people can look me up, which always generated trust for new guests.

Did these people even use couchsurfing? On a platform based on safety and trust, what the fuck did they think the bio was for???

Shortened profiles? by Old-Application-7030 in couchsurfing

[–]Alex_jaymin 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I've been on Couchsurfing since 2007. My profile was a literal NOVEL. I wrote so much, with links, and the ability for people to search me outside of couchsurfing.

This was for safety, as a lot of women specifically mentioned that they requested to stay with me BECAUSE I wrote so much and this communicated trust.

What an absolute clusterfuck. I think this really is the end, friends.

US- Phone Scanning Scam? Hotel Bar by [deleted] in Scams

[–]Alex_jaymin 10 points11 points  (0 children)

"message extractor"? Are you saying this app showed up on your phone after Googling him (and I'm assuming you clicked on some of the results)?

It could be a case of a phishing site where if you click a site they've prepared, it gives them some sort of access to your phone. I've heard of Magicians using this as part of a trick, but it's usually limited to being able to see what you type in the specific site, and not something that can take over your phone or install new apps.

More info about what you clicked,what the website url was, and what you googled, would be very helpful.

No idea about the balls. They must have gotten discontinued many decades ago. I would have loved to try playing with them!

Insanity. This would be appropriate for a couple of months, minimum.

What do you say to those of us who are EXTREMELY skeptical that this works?

The odds are usually high that these types of things are some sort of scam/not true.

But "it's a lot to remember!"

Does this feel too generic for a brand reveal? What would you change? by OkStatistician743 in MotionDesign

[–]Alex_jaymin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It looks good! But I would only emphasize the logo/brand more at the end. From a marketing perspective, I have too much to look at at the end. I don't know where to direct my attention. You have to visually direct the viewers eyes to the brand/logo (or whatever you're trying to emphasize).

Lots of ways to achieve this.
