Congrats on your book Shani!

I am one of those lost profits for Bumble, the algorithmic accident that happened with two weeks of a paid membership. However, for my boyfriend it was 20+ years in the making.

You are 100% correct in pointing out the business model of these apps. To friends who are on apps, I say much of what you said about embracing singlehood and living your life. There is such a thing as stars being aligned/ right timing, and apps can be just one way to meet people.
