Nothing comes close. I feel like there is a lot of emphasis on content discovery but none on people discovery. The biggest problem I have right now is its hard to find like minded people. Maybe subreddits come close but they are not as social as I want them to be. Like I don't really know these people. Our bond seldom goes beyond our shared interest in the subreddit topic. But in real life people meet over a shared topic but it expands into a more fulfilling relationship.

After writing all this out I feel like what I want is ok cupid but for finding friends. The problem with that seems to be every time someone tries to do that they have one leg in the dating world (and I understand why, its lucrative). For once can someone actually put people discovery at the center of their product?
