Why? Online spaces can be great places for strangers to meet in safety, especially introverts.
The reason online dating sucks isn't because of anything inherent to online dating but because of the profit motive.
But the profit motive is inherent to all the online dating apps. It's what decides how the algorithms work. There is no app for just meeting people seperate from that.
True, but I feel like they got much worse over the last 3-4 years. Before that they weren't trying to nickel-and-dime you for every single button press.
10 years ago when I met my partner online I didn't pay for anything.
It's definitely getting worse across the board with everything lately, that's true. 5-10 years ago online dating was probably a ton better.
I agree, if things were different they'd be different. However, things are like they are.
Well, that and because humans kinda suck in general.
