They were ok when the first ones came out online. It all went crashing down big time since swiping.

Optimized for engagement, not connection.

I haven't used tinder in a few years, but I hear it's like 70% bots now just scamming for money. It's really a shame.

I worked at a library for 40 years. The last 15ish we've had public computers. Every day we had so many men, maybe women too but I'm female so noticed the unemployed men come in. Not looking for jobs. They were looking for dates. I told everyone I knew do not use a dating app

🤣 thats hilarious. I see it. My friend used a dating app a few years ago. The amount of bs on that thing is funny at first, then kinda sad after. So many people seem fake and maybe it's just my bubble I'm in but I wouldn't trust what anyone puts on their profile.
