I just I don't understand. Why is this a thing?
like every other person who has nothing better to do I was scrolling on Facebook and
Whilst I was scrolling this little advertisement popped up called SenpaiMe
Now, SenpaiMe says SenpaiMe is the number one dating app for anime, manga and cosplay fans available on iOS and Android
Find your senpai.
*gag*
I never knew I wanted this
(quietly) I don't want it. (louder) So you guys know what I did next right I carried along with my day and ignored it.
I didn't I installed it.
Before I go any further with this video there might be some of you who are thinking
Wow, I'm gonna download this app while I watch the video. Don't do that. Don't don't do that
Just watch the video. Before we jump right into it, let's have a look at how they're marketing this.
Right so SenpaiMe download on the App Store get it on Google Play find your senpai (half-mouthing half-whisper) Find your senpai
The dating app for people who like anime. Hey, that's me. The dating app for people who like cosplay
Hey, that's also me the dating app people who like manga. Hey, thAT'S ALSO ME what I like most about this
is that the comments kind of summed up exactly how I felt (reading comments) finally I can be rejected by my own people as well Oh,
boy the nice guys are gonna have a field day with this
they spend so much wondering if they could that they never asked themselves if they should.
number one dating app for anime fans
Or is it the only one (speaking to camera) it is the only one and there's a good reason for that (continues reading comments) doesn't change that many of us weebs
Are literally undateable Kim Jung-un says hi very much love anime. (stops reading comments) Thank you Kim jung-un. Very cool
So you can definitely tell that people are really excited about this app. Now let's read the reviews just about three stars
That's not bad. It's not bad
Three star- ahhh
Love that this app approach is dating from an anime first perspective
A genre that really isn't given much thought by most tech companies the UI is simple and the cards are clear
Plus the focus on anime gives you much is something to discuss right away. Can't wait to see where this app goes now
I don't want to accuse Michael of being fake
But I don't think you're using the same app as me, Michael. (goes back to reading reviews) A Google user says, "Great app."
Another Google user says the app is simple and clear. I like this app. Good." R- (laughs)
Richard says nice five stars. A Google user says this app work.
I really liked SenpaiMe over other dating apps because both members
Must like each other to send message great app all thanks to SenpaiMe.
I think most dating apps require you to like each other first
I think that...that's a core fundamental in nearly every dating app except for Grindr (goes back to reading reviews) great idea for the pals
Thank you. A Google user very cool. I have really enjoyed using senpai me as a big fan of anime
I like the apps focus on anime a really fun dating app for anime fans
It only takes 15 seconds to set up your profile and then you're ready to go. What are the best dating apps?
I've tried another Google user loving this another Google user fun idea
Can't wait to meet new anime friends another Google user. It's a great app. I'm always happy in using this app
I and master says now I think this one's real I would like to meet someone that will love me
Don't we all don't we all?
Way to delete your profile 5 stars
Now I'm not saying all the five star reviews are fake just a lot of them a lot of them are fake
See if you see a split that is all 5 stars and all one stars
You can be near certain that there are some fake reviews in there
I'm not saying it's 100% fake reviews
But there's definitely a good chance of that being the case when you get on the app
You're prompted to log in with Facebook and they make it seem like the only way you can log in is via Facebook
You don't have to do that. And I think there's a reason why for that we'll talk about that later on in the video
Let's actually get in the app now and show you
How that other guy mentioned the UI is so clear one thing you'll notice immediately
After getting in this app is that it is exactly like tinder but much much worse. Not only does everything feel
Extremely extremely clunky making your profile is a little annoying what you're gonna see right here
These are my settings which are I've set my location to
Vegas and 100 miles maximum cuz you know, I don't talk too far to me my laughter
And I've shown that I want to be interested in women now funny enough
I will still get matched with dudes who are over 6,000 miles away from me. Isn't that fun?
And
a lot of these profiles
Still look fake as this video is a review of set app and is very much fair use
I would like to give my opinion it's awful after five days of being on this app and
Spending about an hour or two every day swiping yester. Literally anybody. I have not got a match now
You could argue that
I am the most unattractive person in the world of my profile just isn't what it needs to be to attract
And you're probably right by saying that but not one match what one thing I notice about this app
That was really strange and made me question whether my likes were even being registered
Were that when I would like a ton of profiles in one session I would come back the next day
Reopen the app and there would be the exact same profiles in the exact same order
What the fuck?
so not only did I not manage to match with anybody which I really really
Wanted to because I wanted to talk to actual human being who was as stupid as me to download this app
But I just wanted to see what kind of people were on here
also
When you open the app for the first time?
You will be matched with men women regardless of what your preferences as it doesn't ask you the number what dating up father my fans
Doesn't ask you what you're into now. This wouldn't be an issue
If the app was marketed as like a making friends who like anime app, that would be completely fine
And I wouldn't have any reason to spawn this out but its marketing itself like the number one dating app for anime fans out there
Guys, it's pretty amazing
Also, it sets your age preference and distance preference to the maximum possible from the get-go
It was even giving me people who were 10,000 miles away from me, which I think is the other side of the world
So as far away as possible from me
So this app literally gives you every single profile on the app
Now I imagine the reason thing is is that they have a small user
Bass and they want to connect as many people as possible. So it doesn't seem like nobody is on there
But that's inherently the problem with making a dating website
Is that a dating website is make-or-break based on how many uses are available on said app?
but offering terrible options to people who want to use the app is also a terrible idea because the moment they see that someone has
10,000 miles away and it keeps happening. They're gonna just uninstall the app because it's a waste of time
I've come to the conclusion that I am
unbeatable as a human being I was not even able to get one match in five days of swiping and
Smashing the like button on literally anyone
Including the 30 year old man who in 9,000 miles away from me. Maybe I got to stop learning the app and
They are stop blaming myself for being
just
Disgusting on a serious note, let's discuss why this is never going to work as a concept for an hour
You'll see on all of their advertising that they use everywhere. Are these three cosplay Asian girls now, that's fine
I'm sure girls like that want to go on apps like this
I'm not saying that but these are all stock photos that are free to for anyone to use
So they obviously just typed in cute Asian cosplay girl stock photo free and then just stuck that on the advertising now, that's fine
That's fine. There's nothing wrong with doing that but it's when you start marketing them as being on the app
All this advertisement is is a weeaboo version of the hot single ladies in your area advertisement
The reason is is because that kind of advertisement
Only appeals to dudes who have a very specific taste in what they want and trust me those girls. Do not want that
They don't now we all know on Instagram that you can message anybody's account and it will go to their message requests Inbox
now
Have you ever seen a cosplay girls message requests?
It's really not pretty cosplay girls do not want to date you. Okay? I hate to do the guy say that
but they don't I've definitely been there at one point in my life where I felt that my life would be
Perfect
if I found a partner who loved anime and being a huge weeb putting
Precursors on finding a partner is just making it more difficult for yourself
What why would you limit yourself to only somebody who likes anime if they love you they will like anime with you
Hey, it's like 10 days in the future
I'm sure this cut is a little jarring, but that's me editing me right there and I found something out
That was too fun. Not to mention
So I was editing this video as you can see and I wanted to compare senpaiMe's terms of service to other dating websites
Just to see if it was kind of unusual, or irregular. Now senpaiMe took a little bit of inspiration
From tinder with their app layout but what they also forgot to mention is that they took the whole damn Terms of Service
As well at first I thought okay, maybe they you know, copied a paragraph or two. Alright, that's not cool. But you know
The whole thing but no the whole the whole damn thing
The whole entire thing is essentially it's just copied from tinder and they've control-f and replaced
every mention of tinder, with SenpaiMe!
You can't make this sh*t up!
Now loads of people who make websites
Take the Terms of Service of another website that is similar to theirs and put it on their own a lot of people do that
That's the world we live in, people do it
but the reality of the fact is is that that is a
Copyrightable work. A Terms of Service is work that someone has done and it is theirs
You can't just take it and just copy and paste it on your you can't do that
Unless you know tinder says on the website that you can just take it
It's it's free for anyone to use even for commercial uses or if maybe that Tinder used a free version
I -- I don't know. All I know is that they have copied Tinder's
Paragraph for paragraph without changing anything except for the name. Kowalski analysis this sh*t. Anyway back to old me
Could you as the app owner argue that I am being a little unfair and that my criticism is a little too harsh
Maybe maybe you could but when you are a budget tinder made for weeaboos, and you know damn well
You're marketing towards in your Facebook post. I don't feel bad for doing it.
To summarize my completely legal review. This is a bad app
Do I recommend you download it? No, there is so many troll accounts on this site and have not even surprised
There's no email or phone verification
tinder requires you to verify a phone and as somebody who has tried to make multiple accounts on tinder for videos in the past that
Is very difficult to work around the phone verification. They have a very good network
That knows when you're using a fake phone number or a phone number that is public
It's just very difficult to get fake accounts on there
but this app you can go on 10 minute mail get an email address put it in put a stupid password in and you've got
An account boom like that and you can make tons of accounts within an hour
it's so easy for this website to even remotely work that needs to be heavy email and phone verification as well with a lot of
Moderation on the side to get rid of any fake accounts that do slip through the cracks
There are tons and tons of people on here with anime profile pictures, and it's a dating website
I don't want a date Piko. I choose one of the cosplay girl. That would love me and
respond to my creepy DMS every day
Telling her how beautiful her feet are I think that's all I have for today
I think I've given a thorough enough review
And as that one guy on Facebook said they spent so much wondering if they could but they never asked themselves if they should
Have a good day my weebs. Bye
