Are Dating Apps Getting Worse?
-
maybe furry nerds were only counted as nerds
-
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.
-
For a short time until they get enough market share and they switch on monetization.
-
Probably not great ever, but Plenty of Fish yielded some decent prospects when it was nothing more than a web based classified ad. But those days are long gone.

Furries just use barq instead
-
okc was pretty great back in the day

Tell me you haven't used a dating site in 15 years without telling me you haven't used a dating site in 15 years

I'll take the furry :3

Alovoa is the name.
Bots everywhere, randomly breaks every other week, accounts may of may not vanish if you looks at the logo the wrong way...
Got a match, conversation was going well, got ghosted. Still no idea why

The real question is if the furry wants you.
-
Yeah, the dating apps are monetized to all hell, you guys have called it right.
I was on them a decade ago, and I'm classically handsome, mentally stable, good job, etc; went looking for a serious partner with similar life goals, and all I got was catfishing and trolls.
After I subscribed to the premium tier, I began getting messages from real people but I was so disgusted by the transparent greed that I swore off all dating websites and services and went the offline route, meeting my current SO through real life friends at a social event.
Starve the beast, as the conservatives say. Deny them their money.

You're the furry, aren't you
-
GETTING worse? No. They hit rock bottom like 5 years ago. You're just NOW figuring this out???
-
Ok, here's how it works. You and me, we're going to care for each other, and be there for each other, and support each others dreams, and hug each other, and have wild kinky sex!
What? You too are also male?
disappears into the bush homer simpson style
.......wait, that bush thing could be taken out of context.....

Ah yes. A userbase of 45 global users, all of whom are argueing over linux distros, and none of them will speak one word when a woman walks into the room.
-
Blame Match Group - they own almost all of them.
-
Does anyone have suggestions for anything decent dating wise since I'm sure lots of people seeing this post also want to find the best ways to date?
-
Facebook Dating is the best I've found. Completely free and the algorithm is effective.
-
I think at this point actual human interaction is probably more positive than dating apps. Which is a pretty sorry state of affairs and I'm not keen on it. I don't want to meet people I want algorithms to do it for me, we're supposed to live in the future damn it.
-
The last time dating apps worked was before 2010. Why are we apparently only noticing this issue now?
