@singaporeangoals: Dating apps are designed to keep you engaged, not in a relationship. Tinder, Bumble, Hinge all operate on subscription models where revenue depends on you staying single and swiping. The algorithm prioritizes engagement (time in app) over outcomes (successful matches). Men face low match rates and pay for premium features. Women face decision paralysis from too many low-effort matches. Nobody's happy, but everyone keeps swiping. The apps win when you stay stuck in the loop. Relationships are their churn risk.
