For dating apps like Tinder a large subset of the user base doesn't consider short term relationships failed relationships, and can stay on for years and years

  Tinder is ok as a hookup app, the problem is that its success there and marketing as a dating app caused it to eat most of the competition, and what competition it didn't eat copied it because of its success despite its format being absolute trash for anything more serious than mr/ms right now.

      > Mr. Right (now), Ms. Right (now) i.e. Not "Mr. Right", but "Mr. Okay for Right Now"

  Where I live, Tinder is mostly millennials looking for long term relationships. I suspect younger people have mostly migrated to social media, I hear a lot about using insta as what is effectively a dating platform, and is certainly a better user experience. The whole dating app experience is pretty awful.
