The interesting thing is that before Tinder, we just had less data-people still chose partners at bars based on looks, so apps didn't create shallowness, they just made the existing calculus visible and quantifiable.

Dating apps are literally designed to keep you swiping, not finding someone—I've built these algorithms and they reward endless engagement over actual commitment. Shallowness isn't a bug, it's the feature.
