If socializing is so intrinsic to human nature, why is Tinder so popular?

[disillusioned]

We are told that humans are naturally social animals and that most people crave companionship, but then why does it seem like people are now socializing less than ever? Why would most people rather just use social media apps for hookups and never interact with other people unless unavoidable?

And no, the internet is not different from real life. Rehab Room (formerly known as IncelTV) made a fine video about this where he showed statistics that most real-world interaction initially began in cyberspace.

I'm leaning toward the notion that this is just another bluepiller meme. People only 'need' others for sex and resources. That's it.

in ancient times there was an advantage in socializing, as to hunt big beasts and trade goods. in modern times, socializing is good to build a network and get job opportunities. so yes, it's not that human LIKE socializing, they understand that they NEED to socialize to stay alive.

Language/words are man-made. Agreed.
