It sounds like Facebook has a vested interest in keeping people single and to break up existing couples.
I do think that relationships these days are more fleeting than they used to be. I think that Facebook (Instagram, particularly) tends to encourage this type of behaviour.
Constantly being exposed to other couples' luxurious lifestyles and holiday trips is not particularly good for relationships (particularly new relationships).
I do think that most people these days tend to value earning potential and physical appearance far more than personality when it comes to finding a match and I think that social media is probably responsible for much of this.

Married couples (particularly those with a baby) are incredibly valuable advertising targets. > I do think that most people these days tend to value earning potential and physical appearance far more than personality There is absolutely nothing new about this.

- askafriend 10y agoI care about earning potential and physical appearance. Why shouldn't I? I also happen to care about many other things in a potential relationship but those things you mentioned are definitely high up there for me. Who are you to tell me what value system I should have? All of this is independent of social media, by the way.
