  • In my uneducated view, the main problem is that ads are served by third parties, instead of the domain’s owner. There is zero curation because said third parties literally don’t fucking care, someone paid then it gets in the rotation.

    If ads were like in 1998, where the person messing with the site offered space on a specific part of the site and selected which ads would run, being responsible for them individually, offering a fixed position that didn’t get in the way of the meat of the site, things wouldn’t be such a shitshow. In other words, cut the ad server middleman. Yeah, lots of extra work on the maintainer and the ad-interested parties, but that’d result in a lot less blocking.







  • On the apps, the cheat code is paying up. Even then, it won’t guarantee any success. Last app I used was bumble, around the end of 2023, which was on its way of enshittification, but still worked muuuuuuuuuch better than tinder. Got lucky and met my current gf there (4th or 5th woman I managed to go out on a date from that app, out of many that I chatted with).

    My main problem which makes me rely on the apps is that I simply rarely feel like going outside. Not doing any group activities seriously hurts your chances of finding anyone interesting.

    Real life wise, your best bet would be trying dance classes, especially any that are supposed to be danced in pairs
