I think the fact that it's turned into a more nuanced app is an indictment of society, though. Yes, I agree that the intention of TInder was to provide a Yes/No 1/0 binary, but it has evolved beyond that into a "Yes but not if I find someone else on this next swipe" and the feeling that there is always something equally or more enticing available. The latter is much more prevalent in society today, at least in my experiences. Then the question becomes: Why are we using Tinder in such a way, why do we feel like there's always a better option available in our hook-ups, relationships, restaurant choices, etc.?
