      wait a minute, i notice i am confused is there any mainstream dating app/site which is actually *good* at helping people find good relationships? this is a huge unfulfilled need and it should be possible to make a lot of money off it so why hasn’t it happened?https://twitter.com/yashkaf/status/1276754996583956480 …

      In 2014 @okcupid let me search users, sort by match %, and message. I went on many great dates, and happily paid for A-list. Then they made messaging swipe-contingent. Then they degraded the match by spamming political questions. Today they removed the search and sort feature.

      tbh my current model of the world is that markets work, and when they don’t work, it’s inadequate equilibria which i think is unfalsifiable but also makes more sense than anything else

      Lemme tag @yashkaf back in here. OKCupid legitimately was good at this for a long time. The site has consistently gone downhill since 2011 - I've ranted about it before.

      A few issues. * Bought by Match * They either genuinely are trying to destroy it to drive people to Tinder, or seriously don't understand it * Culture has changed since 2011 (will return to this) * Malincentives in dating (which a crypto startup hoped to help fix)

      Culture change: in 2011, being a moderately hot dude, I hooked up with a few moderately hot chicks on OKC in a few days. Let's say generic introvert nerd girls, horny. Nearly impossible these days. The site no longer encourages those types of users to use it.

      Malincentives are - the better they are at their job, the less money they get from you. In theory. It seems like they've lost a ton of market share, though.

      i totally get how the malincentives work, but it’s still possible to structure a dating app such that you make money from successful matches. and given how much value there would be in actually finding people good matches, why haven’t VCs already funded this?

      is it legitimately not possible to make money off of helping people find quality long-term relationships? i don’t believe that

      This is what @luna_dating tried but I think it fell through.

      yeah, i’ve heard of them. i don’t know what happened to them. did they run out of money? regardless, it isn’t an unsolvable problem, so why the hell haven’t more people tried to solve it until it was solved?
