Psychology of Dating Apps: Why Algorithms Decide for Us

Описание: Ever feel like dating apps are choosing who you date more than you are?
You're not imagining it.

In this video, we uncover the hidden psychology behind dating app algorithms — how they learn your behavior, create echo chambers of attraction, and keep you swiping through carefully designed dopamine loops.

We explore:
→ How every swipe trains the algorithm to narrow your options
→ The paradox of choice and why more options lead to worse decisions
→ How variable rewards keep you hooked like a slot machine
→ The hidden ranking system (Elo score) that determines who even sees your profile
→ Why algorithm-based compatibility scores predict almost nothing about real relationship success
→ How apps exploit your insecurities to sell premium features
→ The psychological effects of constant micro-judgments on your self-worth
→ Practical ways to take back control while still using dating apps

This isn't about blaming technology — it's about understanding how ancient brain wiring collides with modern design... and why awareness is the first step to healthier connections.
