Our Reading
The launch follows a familiar script.
Overtone joins the crowded dating app market with a “new” audio-focused approach. Because what the world really needed was another dating app. The app’s AI-powered curation promises to deliver more meaningful connections. Or, you know, just more awkward voice messages. Overtone’s founders are confident that voice is the future of dating. Because nothing says “romance” like a bad connection and a lot of echo.
Original observation: Overtone is just a reboot of the 90s phone dating scene, but with more algorithms.
