They stated " If you want to meet people don't use Tinder, that used to work well in the past, it very rarely works now.", which if I understand them correctly means that it's hard to meet people without it. Perhaps you don't need to meet anyone, but for someone who does I don't think it's that absurd.

It means it (Tinder) no longer works. I says nothing about difficulty of meeting people outside of Tinder.

So a missunderstanding then I read it as:
If you want to meet people don't use Tinder, [not using twitter] used to work well in the past, it very rarely works now.

ah, if you wanted to say it that way in English, you'd say
"If you >don't< want to meet people don't use Tinder"
the way it's phrased means (unambiguously) that Tinder sucks, and Tinder doesn't work

Do you not think that reproduction is a basic need?

That’s a deep question about the semantics of “basic need”, and highly subjective. I do not think that reproduction is a basic need of the individual in ordinary language, but it may be deemed a basic, I.e. survival, need of the species or tribe
Tinder being a "vital service" sounds absurd.
