Boomers?
That's nice to hear, thank you. I got married right before Tinder and was jealous of how much easier it seemed. Now reading these comments/article, the easy was the problem.
Let me filter the bots, trolls, and creeps myself. I don't need a rent-seeking middleman for that.

How does any of this impact the likelihood of loving their kids?
I've been married for a long time too and we met on the greatest dating website of all time: Craigslist Personals.
You entered your gender, age, a written segment, and an optional photo. No algorithm, no matching. Everything written was searchable and published via RSS. All communication went through email. No app, no subscription, and the only ads were sex workers.
In the context of this article, it forced the user to engage by reading people's blurbs instead of just swiping for brain chemicals like Candy Crush. You felt like you were talking the other humans and the website was just where you went to meet them.
If such a site were recreated today, users would want to run the RSS feed through a slop rejection filter.
This is a great example of that test being about trusting authority
Those ethnic slurs in the middle of your PR crossed a line.
This is where "that crazy old customer" comes from.
Just don't approve it? If they complain, they don't have a leg to stand on.
I've gotten fired for going over heads before and will do it again!
It's interesting and scary; if the human spirit is worth anything creatively, we're about to find out how much.
Call me a Karen, but that gets an angry email to their boss.
