Dating Apps, Sites, Chats, what are your opinions in past years, is "game" changing?

I was reading this https://onenightstand1.com/sex-datin..._in_past_years
, few days ago, and was thinking about that, it makes sense.

It looks that "dating online" game is changed in past years: sites and apps works worst than ever. You need to pay various credits and subscriptions, still with minimal chances to meet someone. Also, my impression is that most apps/sites have no goal to find person for you. I think they just want you to stay as much as they want so you can pay again and again subscriptions.

On the other side social networks for meeting new people became useles.

Anybody share my opinion, or have something on this topic?
