Should grapevine add a messaging feature?

Tl;dr Basically the question. Now given the anonymous pitch of the app, i somewhat get why there isn't any option to message/connect people. But people sometimes do want to connect with people on this platform and I believe having a message

If you've been on Discord, you might be knowing such a shithole it is. You get messages from crypto scammers, incels and what not.

Blind Community is doing great with messages. I don't see a reason for Grapevine to not have it. 🤌🏻

Paywall to dms would be amazing. Something like a topmate/mentor service within.
I'm sure lots of young folks would wanna pay for time from top folks here , and who's gonna say no to a little side income ?

On an anonymous platform, how tf do you identify these so called "top folks", whom the "young folks would wanna pay to message" imho Paywalled DMs would just be an absolute trash idea, or at the least not a popular one with any users for Grapevine

Bruh, It's Grapevine not OnlyFans ffs 🤣

Anonymity works great with social media, not with messaging

Hey folks, yes we are working on it. We think it could be a really helpful update to Grapevine.

Doxxing and Spam are a worry. But trying to find a way to solve those problems

They'll eventually do it behind a paywall

Would it not lead to anonymous bullying?
