I wonder if so many using it almost as the default way of dating makes it harder to find someone for those who want to avoid it.

That absolutely does happen. They've done a lot of astroturfing on social media to discredit the idea of meeting someone in person organically. They created this stigma that people who try to do that are "creeps", when that's how nearly everyone found their partners until about twenty years ago...

    The problem is meeting ppl organically is impossible now because we've been priced out of 3rd spaces. Ppl can't afford $15 beers or $300 concert tickets.

    Not my hobbies. Im more into rap, art, politics, and video games. Outside of online spaces there arent spaces like that for like minded individuals in my area. Plus id have to change my immigration status if I get involved with German politics. Also German rap is horrible

    Wetherspoons gets a lot of shit online - to be fair the owner is a bit of a cunt, but many pub landlords are cunts too. So what difference does it make?

    But its the only place I can get a pint for £1.99
