The point of the app isn't to get you dates, it's to get you to use the app so they can sell your data.

If you get into a relationship and delete the app, they've lost a customer.

    The system only works with competition, but as we stopped enforcing anti trust and anti competitive laws in any meaningful way, the same company owns most of the sites, and is in a shittrust with the rest to all maximize revenue instead of competing.
