A new dating app is looking to meme culture to match people up. It's called Schmooze and it's slowly spreading across college campuses in the United States.
In June 2020, Elon Musk posted on Twitter, 'Who controls the memes, controls the Universe.' And Vidya Madhavan would seem to agree. For a few months now, the entrepreneur originally from India has been working on a dating application based on humor. And, more precisely, memes.
How does it work? Through a 'humor algorithm,' according to the words of the creator, who was profiled in a piece by TechCrunch. The algorithm connects people who share similar tastes for derision and for the culture of memes, currently ubiquitous on social networks.
