‘It’s not you, it’s me’ is the gist of college student qualms with dating apps. Hook-up culture declines while young people search for genuine connection.

    Tbh I just wrote it from memory as I’m on my phone: Bumble CEO steps down as college students dump dating apps

    And I have to disagree, it definitely is a causality thing in a weird way, sure they happen at the same time-ish but it implies a connection between the former and the latter — the latter being used as a reference point around which the former is explained to have happened.

      Don’t get me wrong, it’s a shitty title that could be more clear and I can absolutely see how you can infer that conclusion. But the fact that when you reversed it you had to add “is forced to” to drive home the point just kind of proves my point how weak the inference that the former caused the latter is.

        But I rewrote it in the comment you just replied to based on the accurate wording 😅

          lol. I didn’t even realize you had rewritten it again. Further driving home the point that the order makes little difference.
