So… it’s definitely their fault somehow and not…. I don’t know… enshitification?
I can’t blame enshittification on this one. The dating app model doesn’t work, period. Even in the case of a completely free, non-profit app, you still have the problem that as people pair off they leave the dating pool.
The fundamental problem is that there’s a nonzero subpopulation of people who either have no interest in or are incapable of forming a stable long term relationship. As the dating pool filters over time, these folks get more and more concentrated in the population. This leads to the experience getting worse and worse for people who are interested and capable because they keep matching up with the wrong people.
They figured out it’s all catfishing, bots, and now AI?
Don’t say “dating apps” like there’s not a monopoly - this is all Match
because every dating app is 70% males, 25% trolls, 4% female chatbots, 0.9% trans, 0.1% females. and every single message with your match costs $10
dis mf said females
Possibly to differentiate from the trans women, who were mentioned immediately prior?
Trans females!
That overwhelming male engagement is why Grindr has been so much fun on the whole.
lol . . . thanks TIME.
It’s got nothing to with “generations”. Young people don’t need dating apps as much because their social lives are better. Wait until they’re 28 working at a shit job with minimal human interaction. They’ll be on those apps.
I ditched it just because fpr the few contacts I could establish all of them ghosted me after the first outreach.
Like okay, why even give mw a thumbs up if you don’t care anyway.
Thus I purged the app and live my life happier by just not giving a fuck about that.
If the situation offeres the opportunity I’ll take it. Else it’s whatever.
