Modern dating can sometimes feel like the Wild West, with apps making it easier for people to connect and providing the internet with a never ending flow of bizarre stories. One woman recently went viral after explaining her date ditched her after ordering 48 oysters and leaving her with a huge bill. Another ended up finding the wedding website of the man she had been dating for six weeks on Google. It seems the terrible dating experiences are never ending, as TikToker Chloee (@chloeemlindsay) has gone viral after sharing her date’s “outrageous” message claiming that he wishes she had less “less self-respect” so he could date her. In the video, which has been viewed more than 3 million times, Chloee shared a screenshot of the baffling message sent to her by a Hinge date. They wrote: “Quite honestly I think I need someone with a little less self respect lmaoo.” The message continued, with the guy claiming that she had her “s*** together” and essentially admitting that, because of this, she was too much effort for him. He continued: “A girl with less confidence and standards doesn’t know she isn’t being treated ‘right’ or not because she will just have whatever affection she can get (meaning I can give less effort. Not in a malicious way but yeah) and obviously you’re not like that.” In the comments, people couldn’t quite believe their eyes and that the man actually admitted to it. One sarcastic commenter wrote: “We love a self aware king.” Another said: “That text belonged in a THERAPY SESSION.” Someone else commented: “So they DO know!?!?!? THE WHOLE TIME!?!?” “Ohh?? my?? God??” another baffled TikToker said. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter How to join the indy100's free WhatsApp channel Have your say in our news democracy.

Reddit will start paying some people for their posts on the site. The new announcement comes after a run of controversies at the site. And it also follows changes at X/Twitter that saw users who pay the site’s monthly membership fee receive a share of the ad revenue from their tweets. Reddit’s new system will work slightly differently – with users able to donate money for posts that they find particularly useful. It comes with new changes to Reddit’s “Gold” system, which has long allowed users to give people special rewards for posts. That has traditionally given people virtual rewards including “Reddit Gold”. Now, Reddit will be getting rid of that system, and the existing gold will not transfer over. Instead, people will be able to buy golden upvotes: at a price of around $2 each. And that gold will be worth actual money. As on X, users will have to satisfy certain requirements before they can take part in the “Contributor Program”. They need to be at least 18, live in an eligible location, and have received enough upvotes – and if they have even more “karma”, as Reddit refers to feedback from users, they will receive more money for each gold they are awarded. There will be other limits on the way the system works. Users will have to earn at least 10 gold to be able to cash it out, at which point they will be given either 90 cents or $1 for their contributions. On X, the revenue sharing system has led to some controversy, with users writing intentionally inflammatory or misleading posts in an attempt to get more engagement and thereby drive up their revenues. Reddit says that users will be checking users’ posts to ensure they are abiding by its rules. The new system comes after a run of controversies at Reddit, including the loss of the old Reddit gold, which angered some users. That came soon after an even bigger outrage at the site, when the company announced it would start charging apps and bots to use its API, which led to a number of popular clients shutting down and protests that included many of the world’s biggest forums shutting down.
