US birth rates are the lowest in 40 years, and we may be seeing a spread of that trend into our RightSwipes matchups. With no meaningful Swipes in sight, Jack and Justin are taking a look at the SwipeScene and drawing some conclusions (and predictions) about the Swipeless period we find ourselves in.
