    What a weird and cynical thing to comment. “Through friends” and “through church” and “through work” are also kinds of algorithms, just limited. And not everyone who met online met through a dating service that’s using an algorithm to match people. I met my now wife online in 2014 on an MMO, no algorithm involved.

      I know what you mean, but as a software engineer this offended me.

      The idea of being controlled by religion, meeting women that tolerate my friends, and fucking my co-workers are all equally unpalatable

        I’m not sure I get what you mean about friends, wouldn’t having a partner that gets along with one’s friends be a good thing?
