I have always said that commercial dating apps have the wrong incentives. We need a non-profit to create a dating app. I see this as a similar problem to signal or wikipedia, people don't want to pay for those services.
I also think the app should severely limit the number of people you are exposed to and reduce the waste of time. I tried the friend section of those apps and that's the only time I felt the sense of overwhelming with having too many likes. Both those goals are contrary to profit via ads.
IMO those apps are very similar to social media apps. We have studies that show they are not good for us the way they are currently structured as they just want to grab our attention for as much time as possible.
