Who’s shocked.
My Male coworkers scroll hrs a daily for a match and get terrible options.
Meanwhile Female coworkers get overwhelmed with 100s and cannot possibly get the best fit for them. Horrible for both sides.
this is by design. NO COMPANY in the entire world is going to provide a product in hopes that one day you won’t need to use it anymore. So dating apps, by design, provide you with horrible matches so that you keep using said app. They don’t want you finding the “love of your life”, it’s bad business if they did.
i read that its most geared towards benefitting woman more than men, by forcing them to scroll through more.
Most of them were full of bots and scammers even before the AI craze. I can only imagine how bad they are now.
I’ll say that I had a good experience with Coffee Meets Bagel but that was years ago. Their gimmick at the time was that they only showed you up to 10 profiles per day so it didn’t incentivize doomscrolling like Tinder.
Not surprising at all, one conglomerate owns pretty much every single one of them, and it they’re successful you don’t need them anymore.
After Grindr started using PairIP and made this mod unusable: https://github.com/R0rt1z2/GrindrPlus, Grindr has become shit if you don’t pay for it.
They are all now shit if you don’t pay for it. Pof, okcupid, they are garbage. They used to work while silicon valley was still in it’s growth phase, hen enshitified when they entered the maximizing revenue phase, which started perhaps a bit earlier with dating sites than other sectors like search engines.
I’ll say that (pre-)2016 OkCupid still was able to work like a charm without paying for anything
I had freshly signed up for a week or two and my now-wife just returned from a long hiatus for only a day or so before we found each other with a 99% (at one, short, point even 100%) match But I recognise that even back then it was almost “are you sure you’re not being paid to advertise OkCupid?”-levels of coincidence
GEE, I WONDER FUCKING WHY??? CLEARLY NOT BECAUSE OF ENSHITTIFICATION!!!
It’s somewhat ironic that dating apps today are worse for their stated purpose than pre-2010 dating sites, which is a really low bar, mind you.
