Let's be honest, what these apps are going to do is boost user engagement (read: waste your fucking time) by pulling you into conversations with AI chatbots. The longer you're there, the more advertisements they can feed you. It's going to be harder and harder to find a real person, because investors don't benefit from that.

Yeah, this is weirdly a service I believe should be provided by the goberment. They already promote meets and events, why not encourage couples among the locals

Actually, this is something that should be an open source non-profit.

They didn't used to, at least many didn't, before Match Group bought them all. Many, such as OkCupid, used to be quite good.
