No paywall and non-profit websites.
You literally cannot win anymore. Let's destroy public spaces, make everyone a shut-in, and make this shit the only way to meet new people.
I understand the sentiment, but your conclusion only reinforces Match Group's position. It overstates some real phenomena and makes people feel resigned to use their miserable services.
Public spaces have been increasingly reduced but there are still community centers, libraries, parks, walking paths, and so on to simply be in.
Those same spaces also tend to hold events for people to go out to that don't cost anything to attend. At the same time, there are also some private venues that allow others to make use of their space for events and meetings without charging anything, and buying things being a courtesy but not obligatory.
With those offline events, you then have opportunities to meet people besides some bad apps. However even online you have plenty of opportunities to make connections with others outside of matchmaking apps that may lead to more. Neither way is as straightforward, but given the state of dating apps, it's better than acting like they aren't real options.
Aye, but my issue is transportation. Buses here in my city are suboptimal, and infrastructure is hostile towards pedestrians. I can't afford a car, so getting around is just more difficult. I use dating apps.. for now. Not forever. If I don't find a proper match within a year, it's over. I think that's fair, given my position. I'll collect the karma later.
If only I were in Europe.
🤔 Wondering if Matthews was "special" in some way... Or if it's just a failure of Match Group which is indicative there may be many more rapists remaining on the apps in question.
Betting/Leaning towards the second option...
