Online/mobile dating is truly a lose-lose for everyone. Gay, straight, poly, short-term, long-term, it doesn't matter these simply are not designed to help people find matches. They are designed to keep you on the app. I'm not totally on the anti-tech wave but I'm certainly against how these apps are designed. I think in a more just and equitable world they would be a boon for people seeking dates, but the profit incentive for these apps totally warps that.
That's not really what this video talks about - he starts with a neutral simulation and then starts showing how certain dynamics between men and women affect the rate at which they each get likes or matches. He mentions that he's not accounting for any given app's specific algorithm for which profile to show to who.
Very true, and I agree! I was just expressing my general discontent with the concept of online/mobile dating platforms and services, or perhaps I should say expressing my discontent with the implementation with dating apps. Much of the videos simulation illistrates to me why I don't like them rather plainly, they don't seem to be good at their expressed purpose. I don't like anything that's not good at what it says it's meant to do.
