  Based on what, perception? Most people report how bloody useless those apps are. The top 10% most eligible (attractive, well off, etc.), are slaying on those apps, but studies have shown that Millennials and Gen Z are having less sex overall. And those highly eligible folks are were slaying long before apps -- meat-market bars were a thing before most of HN was born.
