…but at the same time this breeds homogenization. 

I mean, hands up for anyone who thinks they know exactly what they want, and that that feeling is in their best long-term interest…

Algo-based filtering is limiting people’s experience with other people. And I remain convinced that we’re all terrible at knowing what’s best for us. It’s only through exposure to ideas and people that we grow - and that’s a lot less likely to happen when you can press a button to filter out what you *think* you don’t want/need. 

In my mind, it goes against the very essence of nature’s general preference for sexual reproduction. 

I think, instead, online dating on a species-wide scale makes it easy to find someone you are immediately able to get along with, but with limited differences and potential for growth - which leads to a shallow relationship and ultimately dissatisfaction.  

Yes, of course there exceptions. The dice are always being rolled. This is my hunch for the average human over time.
