Met my spouse on the apps buuuuuut that was like almost a decade ago at this point. It wasn’t good then. Matches (the few) had maybe a one-in-four potential for not being a scam/no-response/insta-dud. The ones that did sort of start were — likely due to the region — centered around hiking, jeeps, and bonfires at the beach. I changed my bio to say something like “I love books and hate hiking” which helped. Friends who are on the apps today though? Complete cesspit from what I understand. Always a new app, never a new culture.
