><i>... the CPO at Tinder, ...</i><p>Tinder is really good at having a lot of users, and making money for itself. Very little of that success has to do with the quality or strategy of the product, beyond perhaps the implemention of dark patterns.<p>I could probably write an entire thesis exploring how product thinking bullshit like this enables half-baked visions—and all the dynamics that encourage them—to rot society from within.<p>Speaking of vision, the article provides a definition of the term alongside that of mission, then proceeds to quote a 2017 letter from Zuckerberg:<p><i>"Give people the power to build community and bring the world closer together."</i> Yes, I'm sure that really rang true after a bunch of mentally ill people trashed his own country's capitol, brought together in part by his technology.
