People were not speaking for very long conversations in general, they were happy to start a chat, but never really cared to continue it. Which always makes me say, that people registered on these apps are not really here for dating, but more for entertainment purposes.

Correlation is not causation. And in this case, is actively the opposite. It’s been shown multiple times that dating apps do not want their users dating, and have by this point probably winnowed their userbase down to those who aren’t interested in dating either.

The author is proof of this. So much of the article is about retention. Retention is great for the company, but retention and ‘dating’ are at odds. Nobody in their right mind would believe any major dating company is optimising their algorithms for compatibility.
