Anyway I'm intrigued. Match exists but I don't think millennials even know it exists; hinge might do better since it's mobile. Yeah yeah global capitalism but in their FAQ they even say:

"We believe people are good; but dating apps have brought out the worst in us. We ghost, we flake, we say things we would never say in person, we judge, we objectify, and we simply lack the empathy that comes naturally in real life. The way dating apps are currently built encourages us to treat each other like objects - not people. And after some soul searching, we decided this just isn't what we set out to build.

We were totally guilty of the mindless swiping, and feeding into the hookup culture that has become the online dating scene. You deserve a product that values you as a person and provides you with like minded potentials that meet YOUR standards.

The struggle is real...but it shouldn’t be. That’s why we created a product that shifts away from the culture of swiping and casual hookups. We sifted & sorted through the data, listened to your thoughts & experiences, and built an alternative to the games, for people who are looking for meaningful connections."

Wait, so what’s going to be different about new Hinge?

So, this is not Hinge simply adding a new feature or two. This is a completely new app: new concept, new layout, new look, and even a new code base (which, in laymen’s terms, means: the very skeleton of this app is different from the old one.)

We scrapped our old app because we realized the world of mindless swiping was ruining romance. Our new app was designed specifically for relationship-seekers after months of extensive research. A few key differences will be:

No Swiping

A new UI developed to foster conversations, not games

Every Like is Unique

Rather sending a generic ‘heart’, you can like or comment on the part of their profile that stands out most to you - and in turn, you can learn what stands out most about you!

Stories, Not Resumes

With beautifully redesigned rich profiles, new Hinge allows you to tell your story, rather than listing off your resume.

3x the Conversations

Make the conversation interesting right off the bat - comment on someone’s story card or picture rather than sending yet another “Hey, how’s it going?”.

People Who Want What You Want:

We cut the creeps, the clutter, and the flakes.

Personal Service:

Personal Service: We’re here to help! Our member services team is here to make sure you have an amazing experience.

We can’t wait to show you what’s in store!

This reveal makes sense, figured they were retooling it or abandoning it..

Match is like $20?

Obviously that'll limit the userbase but also filter out casual daters

Leto II on the lessons of over-machined societies: "The devices themselves condition the users to employ each other the way they employ machines."

This will just be another mindless hookup app. You can't use tech to build organic relationships.
