It sucks, but you can't save people from themselves.

Case in point: I periodically fish for people browsing Ashley Madison at work. They go onto a watchlist as candidates for blackmail (I'm moved to tears by how many of them have clearances). The presumption is that if you're doing this on a work device, you're hiding something from your spouse (which can be exploited).

The Chinese play the sextortion game; I assume their interest in Grindr was related.

Probably, companies should not store private information to be then stolen by hackers. But this and yours opinions don't matter as money talks. Capitalism does not care of what's right or wrong. Unfortunately, people sometimes, too.

But if those clients were married, then they may have been willing to pay regardless of what their expectation were.

decently well? plenty of people use Ashley Madison just like Seeking Arrangements, plenty of people on Seeking are looking for something for free

ask some sex workers there are a couple subreddits
