Pretty much all dating apps are owned by Match. If that monopoly is broken, it’ll be good for everyone.
Commenting to remind myself to come back to this later.

Fewer* people. If you can count it, it’s fewer. If not, it’s less, e.g. less money, fewer dollars.

Language is defined by how it’s used, if it’s common for people to say “less” then that is correct. Trying to define the only “correct” usage counter to how people actually use the language is prescriptivism, which rarely changes how people actually speak. The only real use of prescriptivism is elitism.
You clearly understood what was said, you just wanted to announce you’re “better” at English.

I would normally agree with you.
But just as it’s okay for people to speak the way they want, it’s also okay for people to spread language knowledge. Then let the people decide whether they want to use that knowledge or not.
It’s not like OP said “it’s ‘fewer’, you idiot!” In that case, I’d say it’s elitism. Otherwise, it’s just a useful lemmy comment.
