It sucks.

Its okay

You can only vote on one answer.

This is soo bad, now you have to be a paid user if you want to text more than a few new people otherwise you have to wait for a long time.

What do you think of it?

I don’t understand it. Are these new people some kind of celebrities that you have to pay to speak to? It makes no sense to me. I hardly interact with new people, and block a lot of them, so it doesn’t bother me, but it’s a bit strange all the same.

@Carissimi it's a money making exercise for SW

Carissimi · 70-79, F

It’s an odd way to make money. Kind of like a dating site that you have to pay to message anyone. @BigGuy2

@Carissimi ... you have to [b]BUY[/b] VIP to interact with these 'New' people ... but it just so HAPPENS that there has been a dearth of 'New' people joining SW [b]RECENTLY[/b] ... it's too much of a coincidence that those two things have both happened recently

@Carissimi making money is making money 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️ - if the powers that be in SW have to generate more revenue, how else can they do it {bearing in mind the nature of SW as a chat site}, above and beyond advertisements

Carissimi · 70-79, F

They seem like bots or trolls to me. I think they are from a site that Nuno and Andrew shut down, and they transferred their accounts here. @BigGuy2

BigGuy2 · 26-30, M

@Carissimi ... if they are bots/trolls, in a way it confirms my suspicions - so for example, you want to talk to this 'New' person, so you buy VIP ... then you MAY get ONE interaction then NOTHING 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️

Carissimi · 70-79, F

I hope you are wrong. It seems manipulative, and I’ve always thought SW had more integrity than other sites. @BigGuy2

@BigGuy2 I mean if you're going around insulting people it's likely that they're going to report you for insulting them.

@Teirdalin i usually, ONLY insult once they set the ball rolling with insults

Teirdalin · 31-35

@BigGuy2 Oh okay, yeah some people on here can get pretty insufferable sometimes. Generally the best thing you can do is report them though and optionally block them.

BigGuy2 · 26-30, M

@Teirdalin ... what, so be sad and pathetic like they are

Carissimi · 70-79, F

Your comments with a certain word in them is hidden. It begins with Lib. @BigGuy2

BigGuy2 · 26-30, M

@Carissimi how do you mean

Carissimi · 70-79, F

I mean some of your comments in this thread are visible, like the rest of the comments, but a couple are also “hidden.” “This comment is hidden,” so you have to press the button to show your comment. I noticed those comments have the word Lib***d in them. The algorithm must have done it. That word must be a trigger word. @BigGuy2

BigGuy2 · 26-30, M

@Carissimi cheers ... censorship 🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️🤷🏼‍♂️ - i've have to figure a way around it

Carissimi · 70-79, F

At least you are not hidden all the time like @stereoguy. He’s one of the most polite people on SW, and SW put him in the doghouse. @BigGuy2

BigGuy2 · 26-30, M

@Carissimi begs the question then, why is he in the doghouse - will there be Senate hearings on the 'SW files' next 🤭🤭🤭

Carissimi · 70-79, F

He said something they didn’t like. You know how fragile the Woke are. @BigGuy2

BigGuy2 · 26-30, M

@Carissimi Yep ... tell me about it
