Yea I mean I totally agree that saying “pioneer of hookup culture” is obviously a gross exaggeration. Obviously millennials didn’t invent hookup culture as that has been going on far longer than any of us have been alive.

The only point I was trying to make is that out of all those internet services you just mentioned, tinder was the first one to truly hit mainstream and be used by virtually everyone in my age range. Now obviously match/Ashley Madison helped pave that way and you could say tinder is an evolution of those. But I would make the argument that the widespread use of tinder, and its clones like bumble and what not amongst millennials, was the first totally mainstream use of online dating/hooking up. Before they came around, online dating/hooking up had a negative connotation.

No where did I ever say tinder invented the hookup, that’s just ridiculous lol. I just said that it has to count for something
