A week ago I said I was back on Tinder. So far, as usual, it's been a grim and completely unproductive waste of life.
Now I learn - thanks to The New Oil (npub12w6…2axu) and others who've shared the link here - instead of letting people pick photos for their dating profiles, Tinder are going to force them to let a Trained #MOLE DataFarm their personal photo collections and do it for them;

So back to Bumble ...
