Firstly, they invited themselves being deep faked in perpetuity. The average consumer who posts their face online doesn't understand the gravity, implications, and permanence that that entails... like their future kids and grandkids stumbling on their dating life, being deep faked in porn, appearing in chumbox image recycling on CNN or (insert ads-heavy site here), social media phantom profile stuffing, and the rights related to company acquisitions. That's just for starters. Anyone who can't go outside, share hobbies with other humans in person, or connect with people organically probably isn't worth meeting. Dating websites are bursting with the lazy, the truculent, the undesirable, the unpleasant, and the under-socialized. To be fair, there haven't been so many (%) single and "childfree" (old-age misery-in-waiting) people in all of human history. I blame the myriad of distractions: first TV, video games, then VHS (porn), the internet, and finally smartphones. Now, combinations of all these together manifest as digital hallucinations consume the lion's share of people's attention and lives while they miss-out on genuine connections in the moment sharing something real.
