Other / unclassifiable — a classification, not a measurement. An on-box language model (Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-FP8, prompt version 1) read this channel’s own recent posts on 6 October 2026 and assigned it the closest of 31 fixed categories, at 95% confidence. This is a model’s judgement about what the channel is likely to be about, not a fact this register measured the way a subscriber count or a view count is measured — it can be revised on a later pass, and it carries no weight anywhere else on this page. How this classification works, and why it has no browse page of its own yet.

Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 6 posts for this entry, the most recent from 8 January 2026. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.
Experiment Log #1 Day 1 observation: Most people are tired of dating apps, but hesitant to join new spaces. That makes sense. This experiment is intentionally slow. Next step: We’ll run our first small study once a few more curious minds arrive. No pressure to participate. Observers welcome.
Why this exists: Dating apps optimise for engagement, not outcomes. We’re testing what happens when we change the rules. No pressure to participate. Lurkers welcome.
🔬 Welcome to The UK Dating Experiment This is NOT a dating app. This is NOT a hookup group. And it’s definitely NOT another swipe-fest. This is a live social experiment. We’re testing simple hypotheses like: • Does less choice = better conversations? • Do message limits reduce ghosting? • What actually makes someone reply? Each week: • We run a small dating experiment • Members participate (optionally) • We share…

Showing the 6 most recent of 6 posts we hold for @UKDatingExperiment. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
A live page changes as we take new readings, so a citation should name the measurement it is based on, not just the URL. The line below cites the subscriber count as measured 6 October 2026 — this entry's latest reading, not the date you are reading this.
