I share the skepticism, so I thought of the big picture: Is online a replacement for disappointing lives? Are people tempted to live in screen-based fantasies? Are people unhappy to be embodied beings? How'bout sickness & death?
B/c when women had to go to clubs they could *see* that they weren't the top choice of top men and didn't want to take night after night of humiliation of going home alone. Now they go on tinder and the rejections are passive / unseen and don't deflate the ego / cause distress.

First, Tinder became big in 2014, long after the fast net-new porn-smartphone era began; secondly, rejection or no, people can tell they're alone & this is the first time in American history when the young are so alone.

"People" - if you can't speak honestly you can't have an actual discussion. WOMEN aren't alone - they get a night per week or maybe two with a top man who has that relationship with a few other women Tinder massively accelerated this tendency - brought the market to equilibrium
