‘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.

    I like how the title implies that the college students have dumped the app because the CEO has stepped down, as if they only kept using it to not hurt the CEO’s feelings.

      Many posts in lemmy have confusing titles.

      I wonder if posters like OP brainstorm for 10 min like… How can I make the title more confusing?

      Edit: sorry to all OPs, I’ve never noticed titles are the same after visiting the article page.

        When I posted an article I got a message saying it would be deleted unless I altered my title to the title of the article on the site. I didn’t care for the article on the site but rather the content. I haven’t posted since so I don’t know if that has changed, but I was kind of turned off from posting do to that.

        That was in the News thread though.

          It’s definitely frustrating.

          Maybe summary by the poster is enough. Because usually the actual information would be the first sentence of the fourth paragraph.

        While this article and post happen to have the same title I have noticed that way too many posts have editorialized titles that aren’t nearly what the article is portraying. Needs to be more rules for these communities that the post title must match the article title.

      I took it the exact opposite way. College students aren’t using the app and the CEO was forced out… I’m sorry “stepped down”
