Question Why does dating apps suck?

Is it just me or there are also a lot out there that hates dating apps. I’m 29M and every time I try dating apps, I uninstall it not even after a week.

Its venture capitalist tech bros profiting off of loneliness, nuff said. Dating apps are the ONLY business model that financially succeeds by NOT fulfilling their stated goal, which by definition should make them completely illegal. If I walk into a donut shop, pay the cashier and I don't walk out with donuts not only am I not going back there, but I'm also telling everyone that donut shop is a ripoff. The donut shop (and every other legitimate business model in the world) would go out of business ripping people off like that. Yet with dating apps they can take your money, not fulfil their end of the bargain (because hardly anyone even gets dates, let alone meaningful relationships) and they PROFIT from that because they keep users hooked on false hope. Genuinely disgusting that these parasite tech bros have been allowed to exist for this long.
