Dating science gets clicks and that's just valuable these days.

Whether it's actual science depends on the people doing the study and may not be recognized by clicks.

I mean, I've been reading dating science stuff since OkCupid started writing their first blog posts going into it...

So on the one hand, maybe I'm just more familiar and thus less easily impressed...

... But on the other hand... that would then also be the case for any academics looking to write any kind of novel thesis, and usually a thesis has to be at least decently novel to stand up to committee review.
