    I think the moral of the story is blame Nestle Match Group

      Remember, they make money when you use the app. If you meet an actual good match, you don’t need the app anymore.

      Thusly, the whole point is not to find you a good person, it is to make money by keeping you on the app.

      This sort of technology could be amazing for finding people of the same interests and background, but instead its a slot machine with faces. That’s why the pix are the primary interface and not a bunch of filters based on personality, interest, etc.

      I mean Match group certainly carries a lot of the blame. But at some point you gotta acknowledge there’s also just a lot of shitty people there to just waste your time on both sides of the fence

        Capitalism encourages shitty behavior. People are more focused on what they can get out of a relationship than they are focused on building a relationship. It’s a consequence of a “what about mine” economy.
