If you have ever tried a dating app, then you would know that they run on an algorithm. They show you potential people you would find attractive based on your preferences. However, what they don't tell us is that their algorithms actually discriminate based on the choices we have made.

This narrows down the pool of people with whom you might match and find a connection. This simple online game shows us that and teaches us how to get around that algorithm.
