    No, having a job isn’t remotely the same thing as a corporation / capitalist being driven by the profit motive - in the latter case profit is extracted from the labour of the people with jobs. And your friends, family, coworkers, or the bar you go to generally don’t have a financial incentive in making sure that you remain romantically unsatisfied, or absolute control over the social circle you’re exposed to; in contrast a successful long term monogamous relationship is literally a bad thing from the perspective of the shareholders of a dating app (in the same way that social media sites like Facebook basically make a business model out of addiction).
