“She found out that there are restaurants now posing as people on dating apps, just so you go to their business. And once you get stood up, they know that probably 9 times out of 10 you’re going to buy something from them.”

Wow.

She "found out", yet she provide no evidence?

What's more likely? Restaurants are engaging in an elaborate conspiracy, or this woman is mentally ill?

Did you read the part where she found out because multiple women had the exact same experience at the exact same restaurant?

Definitely more likely that some company is fucking with people for profit. That’s, like, their thing.
