A young man laments an idea that his chances of dating or meeting someone are almost impossible. Few young people dance because they know that they will likely end up as a subject in someone's phone footage. Their failed approach to a girl is recorded and subject to ridicule; it might go viral. Dating apps are optimised for addiction purposes rather than helping people to meet. Add to this most of 'social media'.  People wonder why there is population decline, and this may be a part of the reason.
