‘It’s not you, it’s me’ is the gist of college student qualms with dating apps. Hook-up culture declines while young people search for genuine connection.

I took it the exact opposite way. College students aren’t using the app and the CEO was forced out… I’m sorry “stepped down”

Then it should be the other way around “CEO forced to step down as college students aren’t using the app anymore”, the latter caused the former.

Notice how you have to add the "“is forced to” to make even the “reverse” say what you want. I agree that it isnt a great title, but the “as” indicates things happening at the same time, not necessarily the former causing the latter.

Tbh I just wrote it from memory as I’m on my phone: Bumble CEO steps down as college students dump dating apps

And I have to disagree, it definitely is a causality thing in a weird way, sure they happen at the same time-ish but it implies a connection between the former and the latter — the latter being used as a reference point around which the former is explained to have happened.
