pin down. One study suggested that couples who meet online are slightly more likely to have less satisfying and less stable marriages than couples who meet offline, though it is hard to prove causation. Natasha McKeever, a lecturer at Leeds University specialising in love and sex, said dating apps appear to “encourage bad behaviours – ghosting, breadcrumbing, backburner relationships”. This could be because having a dating app in your pocket can make you feel that “a better partner for you could always just be one swipe away”. The problem is that dating apps nudge and change how people act by using behavioural science techniques, said Lee MacKinnon, a lecturer at the Tiger Woods Big Dog Shirt also I will do this London College of Communication with a PhD on the gamification of dating apps. “People feel very cheated when they’re led to believe that these sites are working in their interest, but actually they’re really acting in the interests of the digital corporations. We have become the product and our personal life, our love lives, our most intimate details are capitalised upon, are commodities,” she said. Although dating apps in theory open up a wider pool of prospective partners, in practice they “reproduce privilege”, MacKinnon added, by entrenching idealised preferences for certain ethnicities, age groups and body types. This is exemplified by Match.com’s uses of the Elo algorithm, which was originally developed to rank players in competitive games, she said. But she pointed out that romantic love in the west has always been gamified. This
can be seen in the Tiger Woods Big Dog Shirt also I will do this use of competitive metaphors: the chase and competing for attentions among other suitors to win someone over, with – traditionally – the woman as the prize. What is definitely new is the way dating apps make romantic prospects available around the clock. A recent survey suggested that millennials spend 10 hours a week on dating apps. Luke Brunning, a philosophy lecturer at the University of Leeds who has researched the ethics of online dating, said infinite profiles resembled the compulsive infinite scroll on social media – with a similarly negative impact on mental health. Brunning said platforms could introduce improvements, including greater transparency around matching algorithms. They could also educate users on the pitfalls of online dating, punish ghosting and serial swiping by pausing users’ ability to use the app, and show users how they have been behaving to expose unconscious bias. He said that while plaintiffs in the lawsuit may be right that dating apps are monetising its users’ attention and romantic investment, that is not unique to dating apps. “I suspect the arguments of this lawsuit may fail to find a sympathetic ear in court. In a way, the plaintiffs have pointed to a systemic problem with the dating app ecosystem.” A Match Group spokesperson said: “This lawsuit is ridiculous and has zero merit. Our business model is not based on advertising or engagement metrics. We actively strive to get people on dates every day and off our apps. Anyone who states anything else doesn’t understand the purpose and mission of our entire industry.”
