‘It’s not you, it’s me’ is the gist of college student qualms with dating apps. Hook-up culture declines while young people search for genuine connection.

Join blah you have 3 premium messages waiting...

still not get it. You imply that these "premium messages" will be messages by AI bot accounts ?

Yep

and what does it prevent them to do the same thing now? In both cases, sooner or later the real users will figure out they are bot accounts. I don't get how the company will benefit if they have a series of angry users when they realize that the messages were from bots all along? Or are they gonna keep the bar so high that the end users will never realize that they were bot accounts.

Gets u to buy premium. That's all they care about. They know many users will drop after a short time anyway. Get $15 from everyone while u can.
