I really really hope they eliminate the free tier. That might finally force people to move to other platforms.

There are PLENTY of people who cares about young men. Many of them are just in REAL LIFE not on the internet.

Teachers and social workers at schools, classmates (yes, you can make friends with real people too.), FAMILY. Even if all that fails, many, many NGOs need more hands and would welcome any young men willing to volunteer. They just need to go there IN REAL LIFE.

I just use the Apple Store website when I need to buy something or get an appointment at the Genius Bar.

No app needed.
