Are they? All my friends in their 30s have more than one app. Or had it, when they were single.
What has really been dying for quite some time is “third spaces”. That’s what we need to get back really, beyond dating. Just plain socializing and enjoying togetherness.

What they mean is that dating apps have been enshitified to the point that most of them no longer function.

Aldo, users (and bot operators masquerading a users) have gamed the algorithms to the point at which they’re even more useless than they were when they started.
