‘It’s not you, it’s me’ is the gist of college student qualms with dating apps. Hook-up culture declines while young people search for genuine connection.

I doubt the core of this is any social awakening...the platforms are simply unusable due to the amount of scams, bots, and spam.

Also, paid models simply won't work in this sector. Attractive people simply don't need the apps.

attractive people don’t need the apps

There’s more to this; attractive people also use the apps not to actually find partners but for entertainment and validation.

These apps are filled with shit like that meaning earnest users must wade through even more trash
