If there were something like a mettā version of Tinder, but instead of shallow relationship swipe craving, the reward loop is replaced with types of loving kindness, would you use it and if so what features would you find engaging; or would that be an example of mcmindfulness that misses the point?
If you're wondering why I'm making this post, to test what I'm like on the platform I recently signed up for Tinder (gamified speed dating essentially) and was horrified how addicting it can be to people to the point that they even state in their bio they hate tinder, it's shallow, but admit they still use it and don't know why.
Are people unknowingly using Tinder as a reward loop for extracting loving kindness from other people rather than the site's original intention? If so, what features might fill in the gap to make a
mettā version of Tinder genuinely worth existing? One possibility could be if someone gets/shares enough loving kindness, they're given the option to auto share mettā to a larger network, gradually until it's the entire planet/universe as referenced in this
