    It’s funny, I got into my current relationship around the time the apps started coming out so I’ve never really used them, but I remember people were praising it as a lot safer for everyone involved.

    And tbh I can see that being the case compared to the older school approach of nightclubs being majority populated with people actively trying to find someone to sleep with

      I feel like dating apps are a lot more predatory than they were when they were first introduced. I mean predatory towards the users. Enshittified, if you will.

      The apps were good. But their very nature meant that a successful pairing would result in loss customers. Capitalism no likey
