I used to believe this, mainly because I'd been on one side of the culture war here, but the last 5+ weddings I've been to have all been hinge weddings.

Most of the long term couples I meet now met each other online.

You’re the one who must live with the outcome. If you come online and take what everyone writes seriously you’ll realise you’re complicating things and struggling in life for no reason. So much of peoples struggling is self-imposed and weird.

Do what works for you.
