So much to unpack here, surprised the article didn't try to address this: what is the reason for that? Surely after 8 years this person might have looked back on failed relationships, and tried to understand why they've failed. Is it because of the dating apps, and if so, why precisely? Is it because of the people on dating apps? I feel like pointing fingers at dating apps in general is just wrong.
