Why do you think they're bots? Because they have nicknames? Good branding is now a sign of automation? Lol

This doesn't have to do with anyone trying to keep women down.
It's a biology thing related to men having more testosterone and being more prone to pursuing promotions due to being more aggressive.
It's like punishing the teacher for only calling upon the people who raise their hands.

Poison the well, make your enemy weaker. It's basic long-term strategy: Marxism for your enemies, powerful fascism for yourself.

That's what Facebook is doing. Lowering organic reach. It pisses tons of people off. Basically you hand crafted this audience under the guise that they're yours forever. You took time to post interesting content, you engaged with your audience. You basically made the platform valuable in the first place by creating value.
Now you're asked to pay to reach them? No way.

Evernote has OCR capabilities I think. You can take a photo of notes and it's searchable.

Dating sites should have areas where you can share your thoughts about particular subjects, things you've written.

If that's the case your spouse should be able to figure it out. "Why is he so romantic and poetic with SMS but can't bring me flowers?"
And you don't need to be poetic really, something like. "I was thinking about your wavy hair on my face" from a prompt like "Think about something you really care about her"

Haha, this is bad. So very bad.
I'd rather send myself little prompts. That urge, motivate and inspire me to remind my spouse how much I care about them. Nothing wrong with using automation to remind yourself to focus on them, to remind yourself what's really important.
But automation to outsource your affection? PUKE

This is hilarious. You're using services whose business model is anti privacy and worrying about what the president is going to do to their datamining operation.
