The Flawed Memory of Dating Apps

  • To determine ‘good’ and ‘bad’ players in a game, it requires scoring and repetition.
  • Dating apps use a form of ELO where the more matches you get the higher your score is which will show your profile to more people.
  • The dating apps have a ‘memory’ of the scores of different profiles but they are skewed towards an initial match since they have no idea how the meeting between the two people actually went.
