    attractive people don’t need the apps

    There’s more to this; attractive people also use the apps not to actually find partners but for entertainment and validation.

    These apps are filled with shit like that meaning earnest users must wade through even more trash

      I was attempted to be scammed by a catfish or a prostitute on facebook. I kind of felt good for a moment…? Honestly, I dont really trust views and likes enough to connect this with psychological internal validation.
