Because I find the idea of letting some profit driven algorithm decide who you date, and the commodification of dating, a bit sad.
Isn't that what real life is anyway? Bars have a profit motive (and incidentally they're going up to). And your circle of friends, family, coworkers is primarily profit driven too by the job you have, the social class of your family, etc. If anything, online dating has helped expand the pool as you can actually find people with similar interests and likes outside of a small circle you previously had access to that may not have anyone in.
