>This has nothing to do with Big tech. If you want to meet people don't use Tinder,

As I said in my comment up-post, Tinder has a near-absolute monopoly in my area. If you're not on Tinder you basically don't exist on the local dating market.

Yes, the future sucks.

OK, I've been married for a long time and never had any luck with any dating service before that, but I don't think that's necessarily as true as you think

You're within 2-3 degrees of separation of dozens or hundreds of single people you can date, so if you just start putting the word out among your friends, family, etc I think they'll start introducing you to people

Ugh. This sucks. I cant imagine deciding to date or even meet someone whom I only know by their app profile.

Glad my dating days are over.

"Sorry, you're shadowbanned, guess you'll die alone. The Algorithm has spoken." Its damn kafkaesque.
