Why do people use a service that has a written history of all your embarrassing hookups in the first place?

In the past, intelligence agencies used to devote time and money to get such compromising information. Now people give it out for free.



It also used to be a social stigma which is why it had blackmail value. That's no longer the case in a lot of western countries.


still, the dataset of "who screwed whom, when, for how long" seems valuable for enriching other social graphs.

it's not that of a stigma nowadays, but i could be again, and certainly is if you are becoming a person of interest.


Maybe a slight interest for now but in the future? No one will care. Todays generation is far more sex positive than previous - even if they’re getting laid way less than previous ones due to dating apps.
