The Unethical Nature Of Dating Apps
And how we might solve the problem once and for all…
Sean Rad, Whitney Wolfe, Christian Rudder, Arum Kang, Gary Kremen, Adam Berger, and I could go on and on. All these names have one thing in common — they’re either founders or CEOs of currently popular dating sites and apps. On the surface are often presented as visionaries, downright examples to follow in the business world, changing the world one swipe at a time. Whitney’s story for example, leaving Tinder to start her own thing, Bumble, has been shared on LinkedIn so many times, it makes me wonder whether the world forgot there’s plenty other female CEOs to celebrate, and frankly for better reasons than building yet another dating app where the only difference is the female initiating the conversation. If I am to be honest, Elizabeth Holmes at least tried something truly revolutionary. Too bad she failed and did so miserably. I really hoped she wouldn’t.
But of course Whitney is not the only one putting a different spin on dating. Adam Berger is all about getting the church folks into a café or bed if it ever goes that far. The unverifiable testimonials tend to claim it does, though if you ask me, it’s easier to verify the existence of little green men roaming around the Universe than some of the happily-ever-after claims.
