Every day I thank the Gods for having met my partner, and no longer needing to use dating apps is a huge part of it.

Anyway, does the word "enshittification" even make sense when the service was already shit to begin with? How do we even refer to a move like this? "Shittiness diversification"?

    When I see all the people running off this cliff, and the trump loving gen Z guys, I have to wonder if I'm going to have 5 simultaneous girlfriends before a single girl smiles at them. You gotta have self-respect before others will respect you.

    I know this is a hard concept to understand, but you can still meet other human beings without the use of a dating app.

    Honestly, that sounds like a great experience.

    It might actually lead to a relationship though, so there's no way Tinder will make it so easy.

    Oh yeah, it takes out all the humanity put of the dating experience, so that you can just focus on the transactional sex.

    And all it costs you is ALL of your privacy

    Burn it to the ground

    Not to detract from graphene, but stock Android can let you manage what specific pictures each app has access to. I don't trust Meta with full access to my gallery, so anytime I have to upload something to Whatsapp, I have to specifically grant permission for that photo to Whatsapp.

    Orrrrrr, you could, and hear me out.....NOT use products from argueably THE biggest invader of privacy of our times. You could just use another messanger.

    I don't decide what I use for work. My employer does.

    Android and iOS also have guardrails around this. The OS asks for user consent and the user can grant no access or limited access.

    Limited access, which is what you’ll want for a dating app that requires photo sharing, has been in iOS since 2020 (iOS 14). Android has been doing it since 2022 (Android 13).

    pick photos and determine what they're into.

    Why not do things the old fashioned way and just ask? Almost like a survey or something.

  • So when my tinder AI meets and dates another person's AI, openAI will send me the bill for their AI wedding, then when the divorce comes, they'll sue for half of my real life stuff?

    Neat.

    Owned by Match Group, the same company that destroyed the dating site that matched compatible people too well.

    This is a horrible idea and everyone involved in its conception and implementation should be barred from working in technology ever again.

    First Amazon now Tinder... Who gave them the idea the term "camera roll" is a thing? Nobody "shops their camera roll" or allows "scanning their camera roll". Where the fuck did this shit come from?

    EDIT: I'm old enough, by far, to know the origin of the term, i just think it's stupid that companies are suddenly using it in commercials over more common modern terms like gallery

    Lol, good. The user's of all 'mainstream' social networks, for dating or not, should be fine with that.

    It's already using your profile pics to make new profiles and inflate its userbase. At that point why not?
