INSIDEHOOK - Dating apps operate with different business models that could significantly impact user experiences. While apps like Hinge market themselves as platforms designed to find lasting connections, others like Tinder and Bumble have focused on optimizing user engagement. Apps like Thursday have sought to limit user interaction to reduce the gamification effect. Despite the surface altruism, these businesses are driven by a profit motive, focusing on user retention and regular engagement to maintain an active user base. This has sparked speculation about whether these apps, incentivized to keep users active, could unintentionally prolong the quest for meaningful connections. Each app caters to a unique demographic and promotes a distinct user experience, potentially affecting the user's dating life.
