Should of made a rich men app that allows only men who paid 10k and only women who pay $100. If I knew how to make apps I'd do it now.

#13Clearly I should start a "Veblen Goods Store". Wouldn't need any actual stock, just charge people to be seen shopping there.

#14fail. I don't think rich kids want to be known as rich kids. Even to other rich kids! There are a few that might, but those are the current stars of Snapchat & are probably already under contract.
You don't know many truly rich kids, do you? I mean really rich, not doctors kids, but actual multimillionaires kids. I knew them a bit and private paid social network would suit them well.

#15I hope it succeeds and then charges downmarket to invade the middlebrow space where the big profits are (and which Facebook originally catered to with its own kind of snobbishness.) I want to see more of the web paid for directly, rather than funded through snooping. If some platform becomes hip because it is paid for, then it will give people food for thought. A $50/month "social network", including whatever addons…

I could possibly live with paying for the privilege of using the web, if respect for user privacy is, um, guaranteed somehow. But that probably won't (can't?) happen, and we'd end up having to pay for the privilege of being snooped upon.

A $50/month "social network"...
...would be beyond the budget of a large part of the population. Not many people have $600/year to spend on a communications tool. The simple fact is, while it's quite distasteful, paying for services by giving away access to your social profile and contact information is a great leveller. Everyone can afford it if they choose to, so everyone gets to access the benefits of social media.
A network where you could pay $50/month in order to block the tracking features would be a great idea though.

What makes you think people who could afford that have trouble finding a date?

#18“Only members of Rich Kids can share photos. To become a member, users have to subscribe to Rich Kids Membership. To ensure the quality and exclusivity of our members the membership is set to be $1,000 per month.” This is pure genius if you ask me. Hits them right in the Ego. It's going to be a huge success.
It's not a new concept - see asmallworld, who are an "elite" social network, who started charging exorbitant membership fees a few years back.

Because they might still be socially awkward,, super busy, just having a difficult time finding a partner? There are entire dating agencies and tv shows dedicated to these people: http://www.wetv.com/shows/million-dollar-matchmaker
