Had to read the article to find out if the headline was describing a good trend or a bad trend. I'm so old 👴
Right? How am I supposed to know what "left" implies in some random app's context?
And why are they stealing it? I don't even know where to start planning a caper involving left theft. Guess I could start from the right...
Left and right are a de facto standard in dating apps. It's a terrible UI but they all do it now.
The thing that trips me up, as a dinosaur, is whether "swipe left" refers to the direction your hand moves or the direction that the viewport is traveling. If I scroll by moving my finger to the left, now I'm looking at stuff that was previously on my right.
In tinder when you swipe, the picture itself moves, not the whole screen.
I have this issue with my stove top, which burner goes to with nob/diagram. Does the picture line flat or flip over. I only every end up using the one with both high and low cause it's easy to tell which it is.
Smartphones didn't even exist last time I was dating.
Yeah, I met my (now) wife over 20 years ago. I blissfully missed app dating and I always make sure she wears her seatbelt and what-not so that never changes.
"wears her seatbelt"?
Got a good brand recommendation for what-nots? My wife's been asking for one.
I usually check Etsy, but you can often find good ones thrifting too.
So good trend or bad trend?
I can't read the article, does anyone have an archive link?
What happens when you attempt to read the article? It's an Axios article. Free with no paywall.
Not OP, but for me a window popped up and asked for my email, without any button or other option to opt out/make it go away. I got around it by using “Reader” Mode.
Good trend.
The 17% is worrying, but that 40% is worse.
Agreed
I'm assuming those 40% just want to get laid and that's all they care about. Lol, I'm not young, but I remember being young.
Keep in mind Trumpers hate birth control and that one night stand might turn to an 18 year marathon with a crazy parent.
