College Students Dump Dating Apps as Bumble CEO Steps Down (gizmodo.com)

‘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.

Have they tried not making a shit app, that actually seems purposely designed to not achieve its stated goals? Just a thought.

How about not locking all the actual useful features behind a paywall. If people actually get dates they will be prepared to pay for more premium features but they actually have to get dates to begin with.

They already do that and it's sucks, these apps are meant to make you wanna spend money. Shitty business practice
