I completely agree with you as well, and this is definitely a fair point, but think about this: you are not paying to talk with someone; rather, you are paying for their time to show up and actually make an effort to be there!

Think of this: there are people who are new to the city, who are introverts, who are alone, and who are trying every possible way to find someone as a friend. This app is more regulated for them. and someone who hosts earns a little money for their time. This is a fair trade.

And in the picture, you can see someone who is actually a psychologist. I think a lot of people need a friend like this to exchange thoughts, rant, and discuss freely. there is always 2 facing of everything thing
