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.

As a person who does offline stuff and is on dating apps for the laughs, we need to stop telling people that either method will find them love. There’s no guarantees. I think part of the problem is that lots of people (men) don’t care about compatibility. They like women who aren’t compatible.
I think a lot of the advice they give could go for online dating. Treat the person on the other side like they are human, be interested and interesting, and don’t get butthurt if they aren’t interested.
