Besides, I don’t think they need to engineer anything to be bad. Dating random people outside your social network and interests is just not a recipe for success. Much easier to date people in the same environment as you: work, school, friend group etc…
Dating apps cant do that. Matching people you kinda know is really weird and awkward lol
That’s not what people who used dating apps prior to enshittification (before 2019, I guess) say.
It was always shit, I promise you release day Tinder was not all that different from today. Maybe less expensive to use.
Hell, first dating advice I got was “use the websites that charge you for replies, people are more serious there”. lol, you used to have to pay to talk back prior to smartphones.
