Dating apps are built on a business model that ushers users through a revolving door of disgust and desire. Hopeful romantics ping reliably between two poles: “That’s it, I quit” and “Oh god, the crushing loneliness.”
Users are jaded and tired. Dating apps, once exciting and fun, are scrambling to save themselves from drowning in all the meh.
