As a social media skeptic, I enjoy these articles about people giving up dating apps and touching grass. But I really think they downplay the enshittification process.
I don't care what the executives say. Of course the algorithm refuses to match compatible people.

If you meet someone and fall in love, you will delete the app! Their entire business model is keeping engagement up. So of course all they will serve up to female users is a non-stop stream of fuckboys.
I bet having a good job and interesting hobbies kills you on the algorithm, if you're a man.
I'm skeptical of these articles claiming the fuckboy-to-decent-guy ratio is worse than ever. Polling data suggests otherwise. But honestly, so does just touching grass. When I go to events like concerts, men are way better behaved than when I was young. It's heartening.
