The development of video chats or the geographic expansion of the research field has enabled large groups to retain their customers.The no-drama guys will have you believe it’s you who is immature or irrational for wanting more than Netflix and sex when nothing could be further from the truth. I am just rubbish at monetizing my account. There’s a lot of brands I wouldn’t work with because my whole thing is that people have to respect my opinion and it needs to be authentic. But then I’ll approach brands and they’ll say, ‘We don’t feel like your vibe fits our brand aesthetic’ or whatever. Fair enough. But I have done lots of different things—like sex positive brands, self love brands and randomly, renewable deodorant. The 10 funniest things I’ve seen on this internet, you say? No problemo. I’ve been training for this for quite a while. All those nights scrolling TikTok and giggling to myself before suddenly realising it is hideously late? They were research!

I feel for her, and for every other man and woman adrift in this sad sea of digital anomie.

Tinder Translator is a hilarious and revealing feminist commentary on dating apps and the patriarchy, from Aileen Barratt of @TinderTranslators. TL;DR: the author believes that most straight women have been conditioned from an early age to accept bad behavior from men and that many (but not all) straight men take advantage of this.

Who likes those? For real though, she spits facts - most of these common phrases used on dating apps are men trying to shrink women into objects that have no emotions and no voice.
