it’s remarkable seeing online dating as a product complete its lifecycle. i have rarely ever witnessed products that just mechanically stop working for most of the customers ever before like this, does anyone have a good comparison?
these products worked when the userbase was positively selected (early adopters, normal-ish people, 2012–2018 tinder boom) & the algo was quite dumb & they were not monetized to hell.
but now selection runs the other way where staying on the apps is itself a negative signal, which is a death spiral no product fix can ever escape. this is pure adverse selection eats the market, aka lemons but for romance. pretty fun to see.
