004 | Swipe, Match, Scam: The Bot Behind the Bio

In this episode of Everyone's a Bot, Chris dives deep into the shady world of dating app bots—how they work, why they're so effective, and what they steal from us beyond just money. From instant flirty DMs to eerily perfect selfies, Chris walks through the emotional mechanics that keep us swiping, trusting, and eventually second-guessing everything (and everyone) online. If you've ever matched with someone "too good to be true," this one's for you.

What You'll Learn:

• Why bots are everywhere on dating apps.

• How scams are designed to hit emotional triggers like loneliness and boredom.

• Real stories of encounters with suspiciously "perfect" matches.

• The deeper impact of fake profiles on our trust and dating experiences.
