The dating apps are mostly owned by one company (the Match Group) and basically designed to not get people into a permanent relationship - the podcast Land of the Giants just did a series on dating apps and their issues that may very informative for anyone using them.

And Grindr, apparently...but I not sure which is least exploitative, fortunately not needing to use those myself!
