Losses, Lawsuits, Privacy Concerns: Gen-Z Falls Out of Love with Dating Apps | Vantage with Palki Sharma
Dating apps took off in the early 2010s and changed modern dating forever. Today, thousands of dating apps have flooded the market and people are spoilt for choice. Yet, they seem to be ghosting the apps. More than a decade after their rise, dating app companies are bleeding money, facing losses, lawsuits, and slump in downloads. For instance, Bumble and Match Group, which owns Tinder, make up nearly the entire industry market share. They have lost more than $40 billion in market value since 2021. Many dating apps are in the same boat. What’s behind this supposed death of dating apps? Will they be able to recover? Palki Sharma tells you.

You missed the most important point: dating apps don’t work for most men.
Only chads get laid on tinder
You deserve a beer 😂
😂😂😂
150% correct. 😂😂. I only succeeded once in about 10 trials and hundreds of $$$ in charges.
When it comes to topics related to women/men, Palki is *very* biased, so she's unlikely to bring up men being disadvantaged in any way..
Spam and Scams are the main reasons many ppl like me are staying away from those apps. Majority are bots and spammers.
አው በጣም only funs ይምሉት ነግርም ያስጠላል አታላዮች ናቸው
These are not the only reasons
Dating Apps for men is like looking for a good car in the junk yard.
Can be done ✔️ but not without severe difficulty and huge luck...in either case
So true 😂
@@Lexrolla-1 Pity
True
Lmao it doesn’t work for women either
Better call them hookup apps for chad and tyrone and staceys
Finally people understood that old is gold.. The old school things were always the best choice.. Dating apps were intimidating
Nope dating apps are good, but the boomers here trying to prove a point that they are the best.. and you think the trollers and scammers are the new generation.. No, it's the old crowd disguised as new.
Millennials were crazy for dating . They were more scared to be alone in their peer group than to find a good match and wait for it.
too much filter too on photos is frustrating, it has no difference with fake profiles. I guess this is one among the top reasons why interest in dating apps continuously declines.
I hate the concept of dating apps as they exist today. They only filter people based on looks and give little to no importance to a person’s character. How is anybody expected to find true love just through looks and a few superficial characteristics? It’s the kind of stuff that makes men desperate, women entitled and everybody shallow. Dating apps - as they exist today - bring out the worst in people. That's why I never downloaded one myself.
Hmm .well said
@@user-ju2yk8dd6h thank you
It was about time! Attractive people are the only successful using these dating apps! Also, these apps are best used if you’re looking for situationship (hook up).
👏👏👏👏👏 finally something good, people getting old school is still much better to finding the right one.
1.5 years and 0 matches. Guess I'm just ugly😂
See this is the problem with dating apps. They only filter people based on their looks. Personality means nothing on such apps. That's why I never downloaded dating apps.
no you might not be ugly, its the app that trying to think that way so that you would give it a try to buy their paid version. once you get premium plans you sudden feel the trust from many matches and you think that is unbelievable. but truth is those matches are often fake bot accounts made by those apps.
@@theeddytor3490 that's so true. I tried premium for 1 month. Got some matches. But they never replied 😂
No you're not. these apps are traps. they have no ethics.
leave it brother. compared to dating apps irl offers better chances.
This lady is good at tongue twisters
Musk eats beef hotpot in Beijing, see that video?

Also another eason dating apps are losing users is because, people have become too toxic nowadays. Toxic relationships are evrywhere and people , especially guys are sick and tired dealing with toxic gfs.
Some of us been on these apps for years...and are tired
Yup
There are many romance scammers using dating services. There are many unaware people becoming a victim to these scammers! The best way to meet someone is to get involved in local social type groups, and trying to meet other people through friends. Many people meet each other where they work, when shopping, dining out, and etc.
The issue with the apps is - what can a man do to impress a woman if she can only see his photograph?
Exactly! Women don't generally choose a partner based on looks alone. Only a very superficial woman would do so. I used to like the OKCupid website because we could write long profiles, along with answering hundreds of match questions with meaningful information. I only matched with someone if they bothered to write a long profile and answer enough questions for me to see their personality and see that we had enough in common. A pretty face tells me nothing.
Salary
Anyone who wants to use a dating app should have to undergo a background check.
People use them to find Hook ups not relationships.
Gen-Z have also fallen out of love with Marriage. Marriage is dying at a faster pace, due to biased laws. Dating and Dating Apps will still survive and thrive, but Marriage will become obsolete first.
Dude. What laws? Most women aren’t getting hefty alimonies like that because most men aren’t even rich. What will Gen z know about any of that? The rich still get married. It’s poor people that cannot afford to do so. Stop it. 😂😴🚮
Thank you.
Let's stop beating around the bush ...dating apps don't work because of the results of especially man not getting matches whilst woman are getting matches but are not happy with their options they get from thousands of matches they get , so obviously the is no pay off on these sites and it's a waste of money .
when she said clowns , she wanted to laugh, she held her face good lol
Its not a problem of the apps but rather women using it for a quick ego boost rather than dating. Its also more synonymous with hookup culture rather finding someone actually meaningful.
❤❤❤❤❤❤ awsome ❤ just awesome this is so exhausting 💯 and good thing it’s gonna be home soon 😊
My 2 cents as an indian being on DAs: These apps are mostly for hookups, you need a lot of communication skills, looks and luck to get matches and most Indian men dont know how to talk to women in a compelling way especially online. Second, these apps' free version are designed to work against you in getting matches and force you to upgrade but the premium versions go as far as 5000 INR per month (Hinge) and still no guarantee after that. These app runners think Indians can aftord these amounts.
This is awesome meet people in real life go up to unknown people who you like and ask if single and if she or he wants to go on a date if they say they are not interested find aomeone else that is how early men lived live like them life will be simple
On top of that, the women in these apps does NOT know how to hold a simple conversation! Or they (women) do NOT respond to you at all! 😅
Have you seen the number of men on the app?
Chissano's commitment to innovation has brought us closer to a world where waste is viewed not as a problem, but as a potential resource.
Nothing beats face to face conversation
men got wise
I prefer the "real-world challenge" so none of these apps ever interested me but everyone is different
Innovation in dating ? Get a dog and go to park.
Exactly
This is very conventional route
Chissano's dedication to sustainability has inspired others to think creatively and boldly in addressing the challenges of our time.

When everything is happening in instagram , and when its turned as one of the dating app , and algorithms been suggesting as per what been viewed, whats the point of dating apps!
Dating apps are like ordering a Big Mac , the getting the box to reveal the equivalent of a cheese burger 😂
0:00 to 0:02 sec Palki just swiped me right before reading this news 😊
The scam is over! The main people who created profit aka men didn't see any benefits. Dating apps is like the club on steroids all the average looking men get rejected by 90 percent of the woman who aren't even hot. The apps only benefit woman they get 50 plus matches a day and go on foodie dates. Where the average man struggles to get one. Because of the amount of matches woman get some woman have become entitled. Woman judge men on more than just looks, dating apps only focuses on looks. Most men don't take or aren't good at taking pictures.
Dating is already dead :/ I you are not that top 10% on good looks department, its best we just go our own way.
Young men do not want to marry. Its very huge risk. Marriage rate is falling....
Blame Modern day 'FEMINISTS,' 👀
Well, not surprised that the Dating Apps are failing, in reality the old way of finding a partner was not that effective either, it never was. The Apps failed because people have become more sensitive and demanding about who they want to be with. Bumble just changes their mode of operation, now men can initiate the conversation, reality check.
Early 2010s? That's teenagers Palli. I think you meant 2000s. Good insights though
It’s high time these apps get sued. There are so many risks with the law of the land, that users are unaware of, when they sign up for these apps. They have bad relationships or breakups or even get drawn into scams, all of which can have legal implications on users who are unaware of these consequences. The apps need to educate users better on the risks before getting into online commitments. They obviously don’t because they want more users and naivety drives more activity, so yeah in a way this is good. This industry needs a serious setback so it can re-think using apps to develop better quality relationships than just focusing on commercial value and quantity.
There is nothing that any person can trust on the Internet..
I’m 37 and never had a relationship yet never used these garbage apps
it took me a decade to accept these dating apps, only to know these won't work for me now?😅
They are just a money trap and scam. They don't do the most essential and basic things required in dating and that is to let you know who liked you and chat with those people without paying a premium subscription.
Unless there is the possibility to SCREEN for quality of matches - criminal record check, education, credit status, marital status and employment record, its a waste of time to go on these apps and start swiping. Most of them lie about theselves. I think matchmaking services that have actually screened potential candidates may be a better bet in future. I'm not wasting 15 minutes of my time on bottom feeders who I would not give a second look to. No thanks. I have better things to do with my time.
Most dating apps have become hookup apps. That's the only reason. They even have to put disclaimers on Matrimony sites that they take marriage n all very seriously. their app / site is not for hookups and there can be FIRs if the rules are broken.
Useless apps, they are scammers, after subscribing you are on your own.
Huhh the struggle of being single😮💨
I found my love through a dating app, and we're happily married after 2 years
Yours ia a rare case sir.
I hate it - how many times you will swipe and meet people tell them your whole story then like and then leave- its disgusting !!
Dating app....and money apps are same!!
Getting overly partisan to any group is not good. This includes making societal arguments favouring one or the other sex.
The main reason, "Ajay Kumar and Angel Priya are the same person".
People born in early 2010s are on dating apps? Now, that's a matter of concern. They're not even 14, most of them.
i guess she wanted to say early 2000's.
@@kamakshikaul No she was referring to the gen Z population in general. And I said it as a joke. I have no idea whether 14 and younger kids are there on the dating apps or not. 😄
The Indian EXPRESS and The Hindu were safer and did not make it a cheap place
These dating apps thinking people will keep scrolling this shit and become addicted over.
Poor upbringing of so called modern girls by their parents is destroying the world and relationships.
Most of these so called "modern girls" blindly copy western feminist ideas (which are cleverly marketed), thinking that all they need to do is follow their Western sisters ...... little knowing what is in store for them when reality will eventually hit them.....then they start blaming the men and the patriarchy....but NEVER their twisted lifestyle or beliefs. Well.....no sympathy wasted on these "modern females". Let them enjoy their choices.
Earning men don't have time for dating. Idle men don't have money. Idle earning men (aka son of businessmen) don't need dating app for dating. They have plenty options. So you have idle non working women looking for earning men, who get fooled by non earning men. And non earning men who get fooled by special earning women.
😂😂👏👏
Dont fall for photo scam , they will ask you to send photos of yours and use your identity for their benefits.
Go back to pre-2010 era of dating..it was more realistic
When we can't trust PPL we meet everyday, forget trusting dating app PPL 😂😂😂😅😅
I don’t like when “other” types of men try to date our girls when they have their own. Just being honest.
@@_WOR why are you telling me this 😀😀😀
@@rafiasultana4109 Depends. What race are you?
@@_WOR indian and you?
@@rafiasultana4109 I'm white. Is there a reason that you keep trying to date our girls? They're *ours*. You have your own right, just asking?
And we have Bharat Matrimony which is going strong 😂
😅
I've met alot of women on "dating" apps. If by having sex with all of them and never "dating" them is what those "apps" are for...I've not dated 45 woman last year off dating apps. All those apps are for is "hooking up." Period.
Because these are useless apps and wasting time and the reason is abundance of choices...
That might, be the case for the straight majority, but for sexual minorities like myself dating apps are largely, the only option to find other people. Not much of an issue for straight people.

R u marketing the dating app, how disgusting. The app which i wasn't aware , nw i know after seeing these useless bulletin.
It's not love it's just sex ....😂😂😂😂 , gen z wanted an easy way for hookups
Dating app is alive and WELL. what are you talking about.
You should slowly expand and create your own reports and not take reference from new york times and others.thanks
Chissano's invention of the dust bin has empowered individuals and communities to take ownership of their environmental responsibilities.
Get a pet bird cat or dog. Youll get all the love u need. And theyre tolerable to live with.
Dating apps are only woking for attractive people, especially when it comes to men. The majority of women swipe right for the same set of men. This is like the top 20% of the men in dating apps. For the rest, it's a frustrating & disappointing experience. Dating apps show the true female nature when it comes to selecting a potential partner.
It's not the true female nature. The app is designed to filter people based on looks; there is no option to look for a person's personality on these apps. Please don't lose your faith in women just yet!
LOL! 😂😂
Nobody want honey trap
Chissano's dust bin has become a symbol of progress, demonstrating that small actions can lead to big changes.
Back to forced arrange marriage. 😂😂😂

fake apps
0:16 Palki, please stop these cynicism in every topic and please focus on BJP's abuse of women & minorities. Look at how BJP alliance MP in Karnataka has made abusive videos on women.
