Are dating apps actually ruining our lives? Watch this debate to find out

Everybody’s got an opinion on dating apps these days, especially millennials — which makes sense, since we spend 10 freaking hours a week swiping.

Some people think they’re responsible for all the romantic ills of the 21st century. Others find them fun, if a little addictive, and think they’re the best way to expand your dating horizons.

It’s hard to tell who’s right. So Intelligence Square U.S. organized a debate between four dating-world heavy hitters to figure out exactly what the deal is.

Sociologist Eric Klinenberg, co-author with Aziz Ansari of Modern Romance, and Manoush Zomorodi, host of the Note to Self podcast from WNYC Studios, debated on the side of dating apps being the devil.
