About
Amazon Dating is a parody website combining Amazon's layout and the premise of a dating app, with visitors being able to "purchase" people as though they were stocked Amazon items.
History
The site was created by Ani Acopian and Suzy Shinn,[2] with the site going into development on December 2nd, 2019.[1] The site features "singles" one can "purchase," in a parody of Amazon's shopping system (screenshot shown below). One can peruse the "singles," but "ordering" one will not result in anything happening and the order numbers are 69, 420, and 867-5309. There is also an application page users can use to upload their own "profiles" to the site.[6]
Online Presence
The site began going viral in February of 2020 after Acopian[3] tweeted about the site, gaining over 1,900 retweets and 7,500 likes (shown below).
The parody site then attracted media attention, being covered by sites including Mashable,[2] Daily Dot,[4] and Adweek.[5] YouTuber Anna Russet made a parody "unboxing" video related to the site as though it were a product she was trying (shown below).
