I feel like these apps are fundamentally opposed to having users form healthy relationships. The apps make money from searching, not finding.
I’m not very familiar with “the apps” but it seems like unless you are using grinder or tinder, someone trying to find a meaningful relationship and companionship would be a bad customer for dating apps, so they would want to both avoid those customers and even damage relationships in order to make more money.
Like how facebook and twitter make more money from angry, non-friends than from good friends connecting.
It does seem like a good problem for the “original internet” as there’s a lot of matching and filtering needed to present opportunities. But it’s hard to find communities based around a temporary status.
If I wanted to find a meaningful relationship, I’d probably want to be part of some large organization that has a section of the org for single people. So maybe a church or social club or something like that. But the organization would need to be huge to have a meaningful amount of people to make matches.
