02 Why Modern Dating is Broken

Why does digital connection feel like a second job? In Week 2 of the Rubedo Intelligence Series, we move beyond the "front door" and audit the actual mechanics of interaction. We examine the data behind ghosting, the emotional cost of platform fatigue, and the $8.4B economy built on extraction rather than outcomes. What this video covers: The Ghosting Economy Why 65% of users report being ghosted and why only ~30% of first messages ever receive a reply. We look at the "asymmetry" of the experience between genders. The Burnout Audit 80% of frequent users report emotional fatigue. We break down the stats on harassment, dishonesty expectations, and the paradox of rising loneliness despite heavy app usage. Broken Incentives & Fraud Platforms are profiting while outcomes stay flat. We look at the $1.14B lost to romance scams and the 1 million fake accounts deleted every week by major players. The Rubedo Thesis: When a platform's ARPU (Average Revenue Per User) rises while successful outcomes remain stagnant, the incentive is extraction, not connection. We ask the contrarian question: What if fraud prevention was a growth engine instead of a cost center? Sources & Methodology: This week’s data is pulled from audited platform disclosures, federal reports, and longitudinal studies: Pew Research Center (2020): Online Dating & Harassment metrics. PNAS & OkCupid: Message reply probability audits. Match Group SEC Filings (10-Ks): ARPU vs. Outcome trends and fake account removals. FTC (2024): Romance scam loss data. Cigna (2023): The Loneliness Index.
