Having used these in the past to moderate at first and then later fairly poor effect, in retrospect this conclusion seems obvious. Huge profit making corporations don't care about your relationships, your self esteem, your sex life or whatever is important to you. They're not neutral actors. They will manipulate and distort whatever they feel is appropriate until it extracts the maximum amount of money from its platform. If you think it's eroding your self image then you can be fairly sure they've tuned something to do that to you because they think it will encourage you to part money for the perception of romantic advantage, or because they think it'll get your eyeballs on some ads, or for some other reason that funnels it money. The best move both romantically and for mental health 90% of users can make is to go touch grass, stop pushing for a date so hard and wait for serendipity to do its thing.
