Comment on Why Gen Z Is Ditching Dating Apps
EldritchFeminity@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 week agoBut how do you keep making the line go up, especially in a “market” with such a guaranteed drop-off point in user retention? You can do what these companies do and fill your apps with bots to keep engagement metrics up and users coming back as they fail to date your fake users. I’d call that enshittification, and it probably makes everything worse in this case.

It is enshittification and it’s how they make money. But my point is that fixing enshittification doesn’t fix daring apps in the long term.

Very true. I was just saying that you can also blame enshittification for it going down like it has as well. Burning the candle at both and all that.
