What’s the Tinder Paradox ?

It’s a quiet Sunday evening, and you’re scrolling through Tinder, swiping left and right. Unlike the endless upward scroll of social networks, Tinder feels more like a slot machine. Swipe, swipe, and then — ding ! A match. A new game begins. But will this match lead to a true love story? Probably not. And that’s the crux of what digital scientist Aurélie Jean calls the Tinder paradox. Aurélie Jean argues that these platforms aren’t designed to help you find love — because if they succeeded, you’d stop using them. Instead, they operate on simplistic matching algorithms that fail to capture the complexity of human relationships. But isn’t it true that many couples meet on Tinder?
