  Good advice actually. Dating apps have been monopolized and enshittified by the same two or three parent companies in recent years.

  How is this relevant to anything I said? We aren’t even talking about a dating app here.

  I understand what you’re saying but dating apps exist because there are so many people who have no access to third places like that and don’t get to meet anyone.

  Partly that’s down to covid killing a bunch of stuff but it was on the decline before then anyway. Businesses were shutting down and becoming online only, town centres are emptying out, full of nothing but shuttered businesses with nothing to replace them. And of course now everyone is working from home.

  There was less and less everyday opportunity to meet people. Even if I go outside if other people don’t then I’m just wandering around by myself.

    Literally better off hitting on random Lemmy users than using a dating app.

    Almost anything is better. Dating apps sre designed to keep you using them.
