I’m an IT guy and the algorithm is definitely pushing for profit. I know it’s all manufactured struggle. I just need to find some way to interact with strangers that’s socially acceptable. I don’t drink so… yeah I’m not going to be the sober guy at a bar picking up drink women. could you imagine the optics of that!? I can’t approach them in public at all either anymore. I used you give girls funny “business cards” that had my info on it so we could talk if that wanted to. that shit worked like magic. I would never do that now because I’d eventually become a post about being pathetic by a clout chaser. I don’t need my contact info on the internet for everyone to see.
