Tinder: the end of an era?
Tinder's founders have admitted that the model of finding love through the app is coming to an end. A falling share price and an unsolvable conflict of interest: if the app matches people quickly, users leave. The business is not in helping you find a partner, but in keeping you swiping for hours.
The consequences go beyond the financial. Men who barely get any matches see their self-esteem eroded; women, by contrast, face an overload of options that distorts their expectations. "Thousands of girls see your profile and scroll right past it, day after day," one analysis sums up. The result: a generation left damaged, with the only winners being those who were already successful without the app.
Tinder is not even a dating app: it is an engagement machine. That its own founders admit it may be the beginning of the end. Or perhaps it is too late: the damage to a generation has already been done.
