Autocratic goverment gets all your personal info, and chooses a mate for you. This is beyond incentives, it is just perverse!

Honestly, the levels of desperation and despair I'm seeing in the hellscape that is modern dating, I think a lot of people would sign up for this. I probably would if I were single. It's very similar to how matchmakers work, and they're popular all over the world, and have been for millennia. They're an unbiased and impartial judge and coach. We all have enormous biases and weaknesses in so many ways, and we could all do with help to better ourselves.

The important distinction here is no one is forced to marry anyone. This is entirely optional.

They got your birth record, your education records, your bank account details, your employment record. They can write themselves a warrant to dig through your life. The government already knows all this.

>chooses a mate for you.

You're not forced to marry whoever you match with in the app.

>This is beyond incentives, it is just perverse!
