Dating apps fucking suck, for many reasons. One company owns most, probably all in the future. Aims for a lifetime spent on the app through dark patterns and casino techniques. It’s a tech nightmare: requires a face scan sent to the app and also every surveillance company interested in buying them. Builds a profile on you silently, using identifiers from your in-app usage. Even without these, even if it were all FOSS, there’s an heavily skewed gender ratio with all the social problems that come with it
