just like Pokémon Go, they target kids and teenagers and hit 30 years old...

I don't think Pokémon Go was targeting kids, I think they were targeting "people who like Pokémon".

While I don't think this product is a good idea, stop with the agism. This guy might be more qualified than a whole bunch of 40 year olds.

He's clearly more qualified than a bunch of nobodies who have time to post on forums all day!

Lifestage. Become the hostage of Facebook once again.

Excuse me? Has our educational system fallen apart so badly that there are now a lot of 21-year-old high schoolers?

The 21 year olds are not ins high schoolers. They are the ones that want to date the high schoolers.

Grr.

And still no native iPad Pro (12.9") resolution in their iOS app.

Can you believe it?!?! There are also no Monster High adhesive skins available for my engineering-class laptop. This is outrageous!

The lack of age verification is disturbing, though. This hub for minors will immediately attract older guys whose intentions are not-so-honest. How do the devs expect to keep them away? Suppose I can have a peek at what my son is up to via Pumpic (a monitoring app I use). But on a larger scale, it is quite an issue. They clearly did not think it through before the launch.
