GenZ is TIRED of swiping ... but Tinder wants to fix that.

I sat down with Mark Kantor, Head of Product at Tinder in San Francisco, to break down what’s actually changing inside the world’s biggest dating app.

Full interview is live on ‪@UptinAndThomas‬

We talked about how GenZ is using Tinder in ways the app wasn’t originally built for, and why Tinder thinks your camera roll could be the key to making dating better.

If you’re interested in product, tech, or the future of dating, this conversation goes way deeper than the headlines.

What a K-Shaped Economy?

It basically means we’re not all living in the same economy anymore. The rich are traveling, buying luxury stuff, and investing like nothing’s wrong that’s the line going up.

Everyone else is cutting back, taking on deb -- that’s the line going down. Same country, same moment… completely different reality.
