It's cool from a technology point of view. How do you manage privacy and opt-in/out?

Is there a fee for this service? Many places have ATM's.

Also, many places with humans typically direct you to use the Cash App from Square.

While I think it's cool, I also wonder about the risk of theft. I imagine it high.

Fomo is the same offering as Proof (https://useproof.com). Great case of the same idea in the market with difference customer segments able to produce paid users in a semi-automated-saas model

At first glance, if you can scale your user base you COULD have artists/labels pay you to add songs to playlists (of course that fit) and charge flat fees for the promo playlistings.

Charge $1 / user and setup targeting at genre level for MVP and similar artist level at your later stage version.

So a label/artist says "we want people who like electronic", you have 150 people in the list. You charge the label/artist $150 to add their song to the playlists which you generate.

I can understand the justification. The fact is they are relying on technology to reduce the greatest cost of operations ala personnel. This use of technology is providing data to improve logistics, menu normalization, ordering, onboarding and reducing things such as customer support by surfacing timely information to end users. Alerts on pickup, delivery, etc. It's believed that these efficiencies produce opportunities to improve the margin one percent at a time.

For their tech-driven-optimization methods; one could argue they are a tech company.
