alt Hacker NewsMy gripe with titles like this is that problems as a class are much bigger than technical problems.
For example:
Many people on HN seems to have dating problems. Whenever an article on dating is in the front page, I see those issues in the comments. In most cases, that class of problem requires people to work on themselves. Online dating for sure as hell isn’t solving it.
Some of my comments outlined how to solve dating problems for cis heterosexual males. Most of the partial solutions are non-technical in nature. Some are technical if it concerns online dating.

Dating falls under the sales and marketing department, which a lot of technical people neglect to their detriment.

A good example
Online dating could probably help a lot if it was optimized for actually providing a solution instead of maximizing profit. If these services actually manage to find a matching long-term partner, they will lose two customers.
