College Students Dump Dating Apps as Bumble CEO Steps Down (gizmodo.com)

‘It’s not you, it’s me’ is the gist of college student qualms with dating apps. Hook-up culture declines while young people search for genuine connection.

Pretty much what pinkdrunkenelephants said earlier, but more likely just fake profiles that are filled with "interesting" random tidbits. On the off case that they match, some conversation might happen and I'd actually bet on the bot eventually ghosting or coming up with an excuse to leave the person and wishing them luck, which more easily avoids being found out and also has a good chance of keeping the person in the app.
