It’s one giant database with different filters for each website.
Other than privacy concerns, I dislike the consumption aspect. I see them swiping and it looks like they’re shopping.
I know some people have found meaningful relationships on Tinder, but I can’t get over it.
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?
If I was out looking to meet people in the hopes of a relationship, Wetherspoons is definitely somewhere I would avoid like the black fucking plague, to be honest.

Try group activities like the local book club, knitting group or swing bar.
Ya know, like.minded people.

That’s a problem with going on dates in general. Special interest clubs have always been a great place to meet people offline.
All the special interest clubs in know about require memberships/fees. Plus finding the time outside of work is a whole other issue
