      Yes, they literally are fuck algorithms. 🤣

      Not a fan of how corporations make them work myself but understanding a little about them can make things like this a little less frustrating.

      I would argue that the existence of an algorithm isn’t inherently evil, they just ruin things when they’re designed to maximize profit.

        Is it really in the apps interest to find your perfect partner or just ones that bring you back to the app again and again?

        I’m not convinced they’re looking out for your best interests.

          It may be more profitable to have regular success stories getting churned. The algo looks out for the best interests of the company’s profit. Sometimes things line up.

            A fair point, so it’s in its favour to help maybe a tiny percentage find a tiny bit of success and then promote that success while everyone else pays.

              Yeah. It’s just profit, whatever makes line be as up as possible. I doubt there’s any regard, good or bad, for the user’s experience beyond that.
