It is sad how so many tech people try to avoid every form of social contact and even try to build a society around it (just look at meta)

Say what? Technology has been awesome, it pretty much eliminates the risk in social interactions. With Internet, you are not forced to be part of a community you have no interest in and who do not like you anyway because of your interests, but you can choose and pick your own community. And the same goes for dating apps, they help completely derisk the initial approach and as pointed out elsewhere in this thread, risk of being seen as a creep.
It's been profitable for them. I hate it, but I can't blame them. They sacrificed their social lives studying for years to get to that point.
