dating sites are so weird like it's that kind of service that someone uses for a while and then ideally not again, so to survive they have to do Weird Shit

@chjara sometimes i wonder if dating sites purposefully muddy their algorithms to keep people from getting good matches and keep them on the platform longer

@chjara like mobile games dating sites are kept afloat by the few customers who use them a lot over a long period of time

@chjara OKC's approach seems to be catering to polyamorous people, since they stay on the site indefinitely

@chjara it's very much turning dating into a game, where every time the player gets rejected they fall deeper into insecurity.

@chjara I mean, there's always gonna be a demographic that's interested in dating. Seems like stupid trend following to try making users stick around.

@tomo @chjara

dating site that retains users through dailies and gacha, where pulls are getting to see people's profiles

(User activity spikes seasonally and everyone does dailies to save for the good banners which coincide with cuffing season)
