Comment on Bumble heightens safety measures with new ID verification feature
misk@sopuli.xyz 4 weeks agoI agree in regards to priority obviously but imagine that you have a dating app that doesn’t exist to extract every last cent out of you and is ran by people who are graded by amount of successful matches. There’s a huge crisis of solitude among younger people and technology is not the only reason for it. It can help a bit though.

The last time I used a dating app was 2016. There’s no authenticity there. I remember being on the porch with my girlfriend and us roasting people on Tinder. It’s a farce.

Mine was 2018 and I’m still with that girl I met on Tinder.

They never worked for me, though one friend now has two kids with the woman he met off Tinder and married.
Part of the issue is they’re targeted at vanilla people looking to start families, which absolutely does not work for me.

The sole fact that people looking for long term relationships resort to Tinder is an example of how underserved that market is, and that’s because there’s too little money to make there. It’s more profitable to string people along with subscriptions and buy competition just to turn them into more Tinder clones.
People still make families even if they don’t have children anymore. People are also more likely to have kids when their life is safe and stable and having a partner definitely helps.
