this is also part of the problem, the loss of integrity put forth is just kind of hard to both spit and swallow. I don't like to do that, and I don't want to be with someone who does that.

tbh I think foolmo had the right of it:

But the apps are absolutely not full of introverted people at all. The apps are about volume and persistence. They are about digging through hundreds of profiles and playing the intro game with each one. It's a ton of effort and it requires a lot of social energy (extroversion). It's the worst part of meeting new people, repeated over and over in quick succession.

I wouldn't ever use a dating app/service because I don't want essentially a bunch of job interviews as a prerequisite to a relationship. I just hate selling/marketing/puffing myself up. I'd much rather just exist in a space and get to know people organically as they get to know me.

For sure, I'm not knocking anyone who finds success with dating apps and services! (of which there are many) But I can't see myself being so thirsty that I'd personally use them.
