Online Dating In The Niches
from the for-those-with...-special-interests dept
The latest in the never-ending MSNBC series on online dating is about how some "niche" sites are doing quite well outside of the typical online dating scene by catering to those with... special interests. Of course, some of those sites are more explicit about the type of clienele they're looking for than others - and some accuse the more risque sites of really being porn sites, with personals. Of course, some might say this is what the internet was supposed to be all about: helping people with specialized interests find others with matching interests.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
