    All non-free and open source apps made by for-profit entities always get worse.

    Those apps are like Google search. They are designed to keep you occupied, to make you pay for subscriptions and click on ads.

    They are not designed to find you a good partner.

    They haven’t worked since all becoming for profit, rather than for… dating. Turns out setting people up should really be charity work, not for profit.

    A little late to the conversation there wired.

    Match group killed most dating apps years ago when they acquired as many as possible and turned them all into tinder clones, literally removing useful features, not even including them in “premium” versions.

    Hinge was the last to hold on to being “acceptable” to those that used it (I need more profile than pictures so I didn’t care for it) but I guess that’s changed now too.

    Monetizing human needs never ends well… Seeking a partner is a human need and these corpo fucks know it and drooled over the prospect of exploiting it. I gave up on them a few years ago so I’m just staying single I guess.
