I love the idea in principle but, this is a tough sell. As much as I want to delete traditional social network apps (Facebook, Instagram, etc) from my device, I simply don't see that happening. Most people willing to pay $8 / month will want something out of it and as a result, it will be used mostly by professionals and content writers (as evidenced by the showcase in the home page). IMO, this is better suited to compete with public social networks like Twitter and LinkedIn. I wouldn't use it as an alternative to Facebook or Instagram, which IMO is far more detrimental to society than Twitter or LinkedIn. In an ideal world, I would like my friends and family to get off of FB and IG to use something like this but, I don't see that happening.
I'm curious to hear your results from using this system. How long have you been running it for and what did you get out of it? I understand that the point of doing this is to not expect anything in return but, that's a little misleading because it's hard to have honest conversations in regular frequencies with people you barely know (B, C, D list). What do you do when people don't respond? Do you take them off the list?
Bangalore Airport (BIAL) Terminal 2 looks promising: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YB2xF5ta0UA. From the renders, the airport is unlike any other in India. While T1 is a large glass structure, T2 pays homage to Bangalore's image as India's "Garden City". Trees and natural materials are a central element of the terminal's design.

This definitely doesn't help in India. If you live in the US, Brave/DDG can probably serve you better local results. It's abysmal in India. Google local results in India are orders of magnitude better here.
I live in Europe so I'm definitely not talking from a US perspective. But I acknowledge that web services are generally worse in India than most (other) developed countries.
Personally, I think "intelligence" means different things to different people. Some people are intelligent in their specific domain because they spend a lot of time working in that domain. Others are generalists, they know a little bit about a lot of things. To me, both are intelligent in their own right.

No USB-C, no fast charging, no high-refresh rate display, same large notch, mediocre battery life, expensive 5G chip that is useless in India, higher prices this year compared to last year, no charger included. There isn't one good reason to buy the iPhone 12 in India this year!
As a frugal Android spectator, a high-refresh rate screen is one of the only upgrades that I find compelling in new phones. Already have USB-C, AMOLED 400ppi screen, mediocre battery life but fast charging, no notch, and this is a OnePlus 3 from 4 years ago
