If swiping were effective, dating apps would have no business model, because people would pair off and cancel. This “revolutionary” change is being instituted solely for Bumble’s bottom line and can’t possibly be more effective because that would kill revenue.

Remember: The current crop of dating apps do not exist to help you find love. They’re extraction machines running off of FOMO.

One tap for yes, 8 for no.
