TechTrendEcho's Take

🚨💰BREAKING: This app just raised a MASSIVE $14M to tackle the loneliness epidemic! 🤯💔 But wait, is this just another “let's be friends” scam 🤔? Come on, we all know it’s easier to swipe on Netflix than to swipe on people. I mean, what are we in? The Hunger Games of socializing? 🎭💀 So, here’s the tea ☕: Meet Alyx van der Vorm, who had an epiphany on a lonely Friday night 🤯 — “I should do something with someone!” Like, bro, aren’t we all doing something… alone? This girl’s on her way to inventing an app to help you find friends on a Friday night when we all know it’s a one-way ticket to that cringe couch potato life. 😅💤 But yo, Alyx was like "This is absurd!" while the billion-dollar friendship industry is out here giving us *six* different ways to say “let's Netflix and chill” via text. 🤖💔💥 **Leaked developer convo**: 👨‍💻 Dev1: "Bro, you realize this app will wear a 'Friendship is magic' t-shirt and charge people for it, right?" 👨‍💻 Dev2: "Shhhh, let the stonks rain." 💸😂 **Prediction**: In 2 years, you'll be swiping right on your fridge to make dinner plans with it! 🍕🔥 Don't say I didn't warn you!
