I admit...I was once the shallow dominant whose sole purpose is to meet some unsuspecting submissive to get jack off and feel good. That's why at first I didn't get the interface of thecage.co. At first glance compared to fetlife.com which is more established and older, it seems that thecage.co didn't have a lot to facilitate the meeting and connection of D/s.
As time goes by, I realized that I get more meaningful connections from thecage.co than fetlife.com so I started to wonder why. What makes thecage.co's connection so much more meaningful?
A breakthrough came after I've started to write. I've started to receive a lot more attention. That's when I realized that the cage's focus on text and de-emphasize on pictures is on purpose. As I've mentioned in the Great Divide, the problem faced by submissives is how do they filter though the noise and to find what they crave? Well...it's through the thoughts written by dominants. This is why thecage.co has grown both as a community and as a hub of connection.
I would like to send my kudos for the product manager and designer of thecage.co. Thank you for facilitating so many great connections.
