This really isn’t viable.

There’s no way any monetization will even cover the costs.

I see two likely explanations for this site:

1. They haven’t thought this through or crunched the numbers.
   Which means that pretty soon they’ll have to face reality, and this will be shut down.
2. They’re scanning chats for personal information that can be used to scam users.
   That’s the only “business model” I can think of that would actually cover the costs.

I’m assuming that it’s the former, but either way I’d be wary of using it.

Even assuming that there’s something that I missed, and that they do have a viable business model, we don’t know anything about who’s behind it, or that they have good enough security to protect your personal info.

Please do everyone a favor, and warn whoever you know not to use this.

Same goes for any other option where the provider isn’t both reputable and known to have good security.
