Waste enough time flinging pigeons at the wall and eventually they all end up in holes.

If everyone spends a stupid amount of time with online dating then that's where a lot of the matches are gonna be even if it's not an efficient way to get that end result.

How do you measure efficiency? Isn't "eventually leads to significant other" a relevant metric?

If couples are finding each other online more than they are elsewhere, then online matchmaking is outperforming offline channels.
