I doubt the core of this is any social awakening...the platforms are simply unusable due to the amount of scams, bots, and spam.
Also, paid models simply won't work in this sector. Attractive people simply don't need the apps.
There’s more to this; attractive people also use the apps not to actually find partners but for entertainment and validation.
These apps are filled with shit like that meaning earnest users must wade through even more trash
and funnily enough, attractive people are being "promoted" by the apps. By "promoted" I mean, that people who receive a lot of right-swipes are pushed higher in the stack of appearing to users because if users were seeing not-attractive users, they would ditch the app.
Attractive ppl have their own app it's called raya.
