Dating apps have done to social life what job sites did for hiring.
- Ancalagon 2y agoHonestly, this. Its choice paralysis for all parties and a lack of a need of long term investment.
- carabiner 2y agoJob sites haven't turned job hunting into slot machines, but that's what dating apps are. I spent $0 on job sites on my last job search (500 applications).
- disqard 2y agoAre you sure they haven't? There's a front-page post about ghost jobs right now: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42010130 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42010130 (one could argue that that's another kind of slot machine)
- carabiner 2y agoI don't have to pay to use job sites. I got many interviews and a few offers without paying. Dating apps have monetized aggressively in the past 3 years where you have to subscribe to get anything out of them.
