      Yes, they literally are fuck algorithms. 🤣

      Not a fan of how corporations make them work myself but understanding a little about them can make things like this a little less frustrating.

      I would argue that the existence of an algorithm isn’t inherently evil, they just ruin things when they’re designed to maximize profit.

        Is it really in the apps interest to find your perfect partner or just ones that bring you back to the app again and again?

        I’m not convinced they’re looking out for your best interests.

          It may be more profitable to have regular success stories getting churned. The algo looks out for the best interests of the company’s profit. Sometimes things line up.
