Touch some grass dude, humans flirting with each other in public has been happening literally forever. “Oh let’s give control one of the most basic core human activities over entirely to a handful of dating app corporations” my man, go outside

    I agree, but I also feel like collectively designating bars and clubs as the only acceptable place to meet people for these purposes isn't great. On a practical level, lots of people don't drink for whatever reason and shouldn't be locked out of the dating scene. More abstractly, it plays into the capitalistic drive to monetize dating and romance to the point where it is very difficult to even meet people for dating without paying out.
