Pray for the Souls of the People Sucked into This Dating Site Hell

>they have hired “programmers with quantum computers to fight this stuff,”

Wow, either he's talking out his ass or he's been scammed hard. I'm leaning heavily towards the former given the overall shady feel of the business.

I think it's obvious that they knowingly tolerate these fake profiles, if not actively create them. To give the impression that their site has a lot of users.

Are these scammy tactics a surprise? They shouldn't be. Sites like match.com and pof.com employ them effectively also, perhaps even more effectively because the scams are hidden in a network with actual human actions as well. They will cause a whole bunch of fake activity for new profiles that mimics real interest. Only when one clicks on the messages or winks or whatever, there are bugs and the profiles don't load or other such nonsense. I have a hard time believing that just the profiles that recently interacted with me are the only buggy ones that aren't loading on the whole site. As far as I can tell, the entire dating site industry is mainly a scam that supports a small amount of actual human interaction at the expense of millions of users, often using shoddy programming as cover for the scam.
