I had a similar thought. While I agree with the chorus that this is creepy AF and I in no way condone it, as a man who had to wade through these garbage dating apps to, fortunately, meet a long term partner I can attest to the profound sense of loneliness they cause. When I think back on it I can honestly see why some might consider this.
These apps suck, but in today's world they aren't always optional. My specific situation was living somewhere new at the beginning of the pandemic. It wasn't really possible to meet people organically.
