    Why? Online spaces can be great places for strangers to meet in safety, especially introverts.

    The reason online dating sucks isn’t because of anything inherent to online dating but because of the profit motive.

        True, but I feel like they got much worse over the last 3-4 years. Before that they weren’t trying to nickel-and-dime you for every single button press.

        10 years ago when I met my partner online I didn’t pay for anything.

      I agree, if things were different they’d be different. However, things are like they are.

      Well, that and because humans kinda suck in general.
