I didn't realize there were still real people that use Tinder. I thought it was all bots by this point.
It was a spam bot swarm a decade ago.
I checked again around 2023, then it was full of human backed fake profiles that pushed cryptocoin scams. It's called pig butchering.
Today I assume it's still pog butchering but backed by LLMs instead of people.
I think I was last on it pre-pandemic and, yeah, it was a bot fest. The profiles that appeared to be legit humans weren't all that impressive either.
I can't imagine going back. Unless I pivot careers to crypto scammer.
Pogs are back? Finally, my investment will pay off!
