  Online Dating - Pandemic Eddition

  With the pandemic, many of us have resorted to the endless, mind-numbing swiping on dating apps. I have included an example of "what not to swipe right on, COVID edition." If a person clearly has no regard for COVID guidelines (like wearing a mask properly) then they are a waste of time. Furthermore, this picture shows how so many people have such a careless lack of regard for the health and safety of others.

  Bumble's "First Moves Forever" Campaign

  As I sat scrolling through Snapchat one day, I was presented with an advertisement. At first I skipped, however, when I saw the Bumble logo, I immediately went back to look at it. Sure enough, I had stumbled upon a perfect addition to this mini collection that I am putting together about dating during the pandemic. The ad was for the Bumble campaign “First Moves Forever” (https://thebeehive.bumble.com/firstmovesforever) which recaps how Bumble was used in 2020, and shares the stories of some users in an interactive way. This website may interest future historians, as it shares the stories of real individuals in relationships, and tells how social media/dating apps were used during the Covid-19 pandemic. It also gives another look into the ways that brands are now using the pandemic as a way of advertising.
