It took me like 5 years of heavy app use to finally meet my wife. I met a few nice people in that time, but the process was honestly extremely depressing and difficult.
I hate dating app culture... but I also have some social anxiety which makes meeting anyone organically virtually impossible.
For me the apps just ain't worth it so I got rid of them. There's a whole sense of commodification abiut that that's just awful and I find I'm happier without them.
That's dating in general for most folks, apps or not. It takes a lot of time and investment and risk.
