I've argued many times over with smug "nothing every happens, everything is exactly as good and bad as it always has been" types and one such topic that gets that treatment is dating, particularly online dating.
YES, online dating was less terrible before the bigger companies swallowed up the smaller ones and made a business of making successful dating less likely as a deliberate business strategy for further engagement.
For example, OKCupid used to actually be... OK.
is the sum of everything wrong with "ideas guys" in general, especially the ones that are too rich and powerful to even allow people to exist around them that might say "no that's a bad idea."
