Read article: Fake Flirts and Chat Moderators: What’s really behind some dating appsThere are videos that you watch and then have to take a moment to process.

Why large dating platforms have no interest in your happy ending
Read article: Why large dating platforms have no interest in your happy endingToday I would like to write about a question that has accompanied us since the beginning and that probably concerns you too if you use online dating: Why does it often seem as if large dating platforms have no real interest in you actually finding someone? Why does so much feel more like a game than a serious search for a partner?
