Dating apps are often a miserable experience for the participants, however for some reason they are quite popular and at times can be quite addictive.

The idea of matches based on statistical calculations is just wild. I get basic requirements like non-smoker, vegan etc, but more like a filter. Beyond that, it's random black magic that doesn't work and is quite principally a flawed approach

There is more to it than though, that's why being able to explore profiles is important. You can see the questions they answered and how which allows you to make decisions and inferences. Sure it had flaws, but it was leaps and bounds better than anything today including it's own current iteration. The closest is probably Hinge, but even that is Tinderfied.
