YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Dating used to be so sweet and simple: ask the object of your affections out, treat them to a date, and let nature take its course.

But social media has changed the game and not necessarily improved it, according to strategist Kristen Ruby. It has made things much more complicated and added to the disposable culture, she says.

Hip hop artist and "Love and Hip Hop New York" star Grafh is also skeptical. He says that people don't know how to communicate and connect one on one.

But if you're at the stage where the goal is variety with no strings, then social media is ideal, according to up-and-coming hip hop artist Lougotcash, who is featured on the "Into the Spiderverse" soundtrack. He doesn't use dating apps—just Instagram. He calls his approach "same day shipping."

On the positive side, others say the many choices on social media help you clarify what you really want. And once you find that person, you may need to take it one step further to make sure you're on the same online page.
