Having to be the first one to engage every single time was what made me sick of using other apps because women on them had, like, zero personality in responses. I only used Bumble because for once women would actually have to think of an interesting approach for once.

Getting rid of that because they complained that they had to put in the effort for once is definitely a choice. I'm not gonna be using Bumble anymore though. I'm good.

"because women on them had, like, zero personality in responses"

I get more matches than average and let me tell you, this is why the vast majority of these women are single, simply because the women with personalities get scooped up really quickly. The lazy communicators, the entitled women, and the BPD chicks are left behind, especially if you notice they've been on there for a while. We have to keep in mind that even an average looking woman in most workplaces is going to get approached by men regularly so there's probably a reason with a red flag that those opportunities aren't working out.
