We should not conflate sexual freedom in general with the very specific kind promoted by Tinder. There are many different ways you could design the UX of a dating app and in my opinion the Tinder approach has some very serious downsides. Dating online doesn't necessarily have to be about promoting a lot of shallow and superficial interactions.
- thefounder 6y agoOk, who are you to judge what other people should use for dating? Make your "moral" dating app and compete on merits.
- cageface 6y agoI’m not advocating banning the app but I do think some of the criticisms of it are entirely justified. We’ve seen in the last few years how we all can be affected by technologies that we don’t personally use ourselves so we’re entitled to an opinion.
- cageface 6y agoAlso I'm not saying Tinder is immoral. People can hook up all they want as far as I'm concerned. It's more the kind of interaction that the UX encourages that I think could be improved.
- thefounder 6y agoAs I said...make your own app that encourages a different kind of interactions. Have you considered that people use Tinder because of the kind of interactions it encourages? It's not like there are not other apps with different goals/ux. I believe it's a tirany to use your own morality to restrict other people's behaviour. As long as nobody gets hurt people should be free to spend their time/live as they see fit.
