Dating apps are often a miserable experience for the participants, however for some reason they are quite popular and at times can be quite addictive.

    The problem, like with a lot of stuff, ist that they are for profit and optimized in a way to maximize profit over the actual functionality.

        Somebody really passionate about it has to make one and not sell it or make it publicly tradable? Which would be difficult since the market is rather full (I would guess). Also dating can be just a miserable experience if one lacks self esteem and does not fit into societal expectations of desirability - that’s not on dating app problem.

          It still has to be economically viable. Even if someone made one with good intentions, there’d still have to be a way to keep it afloat. How would you go about doing that?

          I actually think that a good and popular dating app would theoretically solve that as the dating pool would be much larger.
