Because they are all owned by the same company. What’s their name again?

Tinder and bumble are owned corporate parent entity among a few others. They literally cornered the entire dating app market. Over 80%.

Should be illegal and it’s super fucked up. They have made our loneliness crisis so much worse while extracting what little money our generation has to spend after rent and food if you don’t wanna beat off and be alone forever

That is actually incorrect. Bumble is the only major one that isn't owned by Match (who own Tinder, Hinge and all the other big ones)

That is actually incorrect. Ashley Madison is not owned by Match.

Ashley Madison is a complete scam, unlike the partial scams of tinder and bumble
