Comment on Ask HN: Why are dating apps so bad? Why hasn't anyone made a good one?

Comments

So let's assume there is a deficit in the market for dating apps that are actually good. So why hasn't one been made?

What's the market? How are you going to get people to pay for a good dating app?

Fact is people (specifically women, since they're the audience that matters for dating app success) vote with their feet for dark patterns.

In a world of touch screen devices and OnlyFans fetishes, descriptions of women who "vote with their feet" carry a whole new set of mental images!
