Tinder Like it Was in the 2010s
Immediately after its insemination
in 2012, a dating app called Tinder was really popular, where people linked up
to date. They would put funny stuff in their bios, like little raps and jokes
that they would tell to try to get people to like them. It really put a lot of
power in the hands of gender roles, because you could only see one gender, the
one that you would date.
On
Tinder, and other dating apps that are still semi-popular today, there is a system
where people like their friends. They’ll swipe either right, for like, or left,
for dislike. It made the whole thing into a fun game.
At a
certain point, the whole thing went out of hand, and then people kind of
started getting in trouble for all kinds of funky little things, and Tinder
sort of got shut down by the feds. Then, after that, fake profiles started popping
up all over social media, and no one really knew where they came from.
It’s classic
Tinder. The whole thing ended up being full of bots that were causing people
issues. Instead of connecting with a real person, you’d connect with some kind
of agenda that would end up being false. You wouldn’t end up going on your
date, you’d end up just sitting at home reeling in the neglect that the bots
give you.
The
thing about Tinder is that there was once a really big following. People loved
having the opportunity on their phone to make funny little bios that talk about
the social lives that they dream of having. No one really felt left out,
because everyone was doing it.
That was
another issue with Tinder. Since everyone was doing it, a lot of bad people
that fell below the standard of the others on Tinder would try to impersonate
good people by taking misleading pictures. This kind of following of Tinder
baddies ended up leading the world to a new movement psychologically that was
one of the crucial issues of the Tinder era.
But
really, because everyone’s involved in a movement, that’s when it means that
there is definitely government needed. There is a regulation for this and that
to prevent some of the issues that the Tinder era went through. Proposing that
there is a government force dedicating to online dating wouldn’t be too far
from the truth, because there are really a lot of issues that people are
running into. Especially with robots.
Having
profile verification is one of the things that people are doing now in order to
try to get people to know that they’re real. But a lot of the time this costs
money, which leaves a lot of people that are bent on using these apps for their
social lives out of the circuit.
When
Tinder broke down and so did Facebook after the neglect of the bots, a lot of
the Tinder culture was burnt down. The bad aspects of the things that were there
somehow maintained their presence in society, and still do to this day. It’s
like a mystery that the feds haven’t solved.
In my opinion,
it’s a matter of neglect. Like when cell phones start receiving messages from
pirates, when online dating gets inhabited by propaganda, there are a lot of
bad things that can happen. People can get left out, or people can get moved
from their ideal circles. It’s a federal nightmare.
If
people could just trust that the things that they’re doing online, then they
would be able to have the social lives that the early Tinder lovers were bent
on getting. Those social lives where everyone’s talking about the same thing,
and having fun standing out on their own too. But as long as propaganda and
robots are running through the system, we’re stuck looking at the ironic picture
of liars and manipulators who really shouldn’t be there in the first place.
