I was literally just thinking "what if there was a dating app but it was for like arranged marriages" and here comes japan to make the nightmarish ramblings of my mind a reality
except my thought was more like "what if there was an app for like a gig economy where old people play matchmaker and negotiate arranged marriages for others" so technically I think my idea was worse
Given the age structure in japan and that jobs in the public sector and government tend towards older I'm pretty sure this is materially there.
What I'm saying is imagine the above foundational tumblr post except it's the ghost of shinzo abe screaming at other old people and it's about apps
I used to work as an av technician in a corporation, and had to support a lot of company trainings and there was this one, from a PR consulting firm, to the CEO and the executives about fucking memes. A poor zoomer had to explain to a bunch of boomers how different kinds of memes worked. It was obvious everyone on that room knew how ridiculous everything was, but everyone had to act like it was important job.
