People looking for dates on Tinder. Yes more than 70% of Tinder profiles are already probably bots at this time. The CEO said they had an AI strategy. People will be more and more lonely.

It's hard for me to understand how Tinder is not dead yet. One big pile of pop-up ads (even when you pay you get upsell popups) and some Chinese scammer bots.

  It's even more of a shame that OkCupid is dead. They had such a nice method, which was actually introducing good people to me.

    I'd argue that what Match Group did with OKC was bordering on criminal. Everything on it worked and it worked for small, often marginalized groups. It was turned into a worse version of tender.

    I met my wife through OKC, she's a lovely lady.

  It's highly dependent on location. I use it while traveling, and yes in a few countries it's useless, but I've met 300-400 people over the last 7 years. It's added more value to my life than any other single app (even though I've never paid a dime for it). For the record, I'm male, mid 30's, and average looking.

    An average of 1 person per week over a period of 7 years? Impressive. Is it fair to assume you're using a relatively shallow definition of "value" here, or was there something else you had in mind?

> People will be more and more lonely. Or people might be less lonely. There will come a point where the online experience becomes worthless and people will place greater importance on face-to-face interaction. That's how it was 20 years ago.

  Don’t worry, robots are coming for that too https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrogates https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surrogates Will be very hard to tell the difference until you are intimate

    Why surrogates wouldn't be able to function as teledildonic proxies for 'intimacy'?

        Come on, how would you know the difference, if you'd grown up without ever have known the real thing? To extrapolate the theme of that movie just a little bit further?
