The problem isnt monetization per se its all the dark patterns that emerge to keep people there and paying, no?

From what I understand few of those apps, especially not Match Group's are actually about well, matching interests or compatibility. Just the swipe olympics and ranking games that go with.

Its to the point I've heard a saying, that while I forgot the proper term basically alluded to the pin at the bottom of the haystack. That is to say to swipe left on every 'high ranking' guy just to finally find someone thats actually interesting and not just what the algo thinks is attractive.
