Are people relying too much on online verification now?

It feels like before meeting anyone from dating apps or social platforms, people are becoming more dependent on checking tools and online traces rather than just conversations. The Tea Checkerapp is one of those things I’ve seen mentioned in this context, where users try to get some background sense of a person before meeting them. I understand the safety concern, but I wonder if this growing habit is helping people make better decisions or just making trust harder to build from the start.
