Are dating apps really the cause of modern dating problems? In this final video on Marie Bergström’s The New Laws of Love: Online Dating and the Privatization of Intimacy, I look at the dating app industry and the assumptions built into online dating platforms.

Through quotes and commentary, I discuss Bergström’s analysis of dating entrepreneurs, gender assumptions, business models, and the conventional ideas about sex and love that shape dating apps. The video ends with one of Bergström’s most important arguments: dating apps did not invent these problems; they magnify what was already present in modern intimacy.
