I downloaded this application a few weeks ago, and I had such high hopes. Connecting to people based on interests is such a great idea. I think it's a significant reason that Reddit is so strong, and I would love to see a product take it to a deeper level (multi-interest connections).

I was immediately disappointed by hello. The pre-defined interests are limiting and the presentation is nothing more than an instagram feed. Over a period of days, people were adding me as connections, and I had no idea why. None of it made any sense. When I log into the app, all I saw was random content completely unrelated to any interest at all.

This isn't about connecting based on interests. It's about being bored and needing instant gratification from notifications.
