Running a full node on Ethereum is expensive. With a recommended 2TB+ SSD storage and 14GB of data added weekly, many potential validators are left out. This increases reliance on centralized intermediaries.

Dating apps encourage users to share info (incl. sensitive info!) for matching quality.

Unfortunately, apps may also leak information which users are not aware they are sharing.

Some apps even leak exact locations of users.
