Ulysses; "Recorded History" refers to those portions of History for which we have written records & sources. At what time, and in what kinds of societies was writing invented?
This is an important thing consider; because it doesn't include societies, or peoples that didn't write down their histories. In which things probably were different. But we don't descend from those societies, and we don't follow their rules now do we?
I don't see how that's supposed to convince me that it's somehow impossible to say that online dating has gotten less pleasant and more frustrating for those still doing it in the years since it became normalized and accepted.
I also don't really see the value or the purpose for making the "nothing really actually changes meaningfully ever" claim except as a long winded way of saying "shut up, stop complaining. Only complaining about complaining is allowed."
Well within recorded history things sometimes get worse or better in specific ways for specific people doing specific things over time. That's a far more believable take than "nothing ever changes ever, therefore no complaining is allowed, except complaining about complaining" to me.
