Everything about the website looks fake, the testimonials in particular. At first I got suspicious because the photographs of the couples looked like those promotional ad shots no one takes in real life, but on closer inspection even those are clearly AI generated¹. The text of the reviews doesn’t help either.

If you’re faking reviews, I don’t see why anyone should trust the service.

Because I just launched and don't have any testimonials. It's a chicken and egg conundrum. I will replace with real testimonials when they come in.

If you don’t have testimonials, don’t add any. Deliberately lying erodes trust at all levels, including in your privacy policy. It is not a “chicken and egg conundrum”, you don’t need testimonials for someone to try a service. If anything, you’re pushing away anyone who sees through the dishonesty of the fake reviews.

Ok I'll remove that section now. Thanks for your feedback.

EDIT: It's done.
