    Dating and sex have been rapidly commodified

    Anywhere one could learn more about this? This seems like fertile ground for theory. As for the rest of the post, I must say I agree with it, especially the parts concerning pornography and society after the revolution.

      I don't have any specific recommendations unfortunately. It's more just an observation since dating apps have gotten pretty big in the last few years and someone is making money off of them. I've read articles about the psychological effects of Tinder and they affirmed my experience but that's about it.

      My basis comes from Kollontai though. She was a Bolshevik, so a little before dating apps became popular, but she wrote about romance and sex under capitalism and it's some interesting stuff. I'm sure there's more recent literature on the subject out there but I haven't read any of it.

        Haven't read any articles, watched a YT vid or two, the apps seems really damaging to someone's self esteem and wallet. It being one of the leading causes for the changes the cnn article talks about is unsurprising.

        :stalin-approval: thanks for the recommendation, her writings like "Sexual Relations and the Class Struggle" seem quite interesting.
