      This all sounds like they want to take the inauthenticity and corporate manipulation of online dating dynamics and bring it to in-person dating. No thanks!

      Tinder has been enshittified to the point that it’s essentially useless unless you pay. Fuck that.

    3. Offline dating events in my city has exploded, seems like it is the new trend and imo it is way better than everyone swiping.

      Don’t forget that Match Group owns around 40 dating services including Tinder, OkCupid, Hinge, Plenty of Fish, and of course Match.com.

      Dating in the 21st century in a 1st world country is beyond fuck. Everyone has off the roof standards, requirements, commitments.

      I like to see Tinder fix that.

      dating apps are dying and good riddance they’re miserable and designed specifically for squeezing out cash from lonely people it’s probably the single most miserable experience for when it comes to making genuine connections people have been tired of that shit for a while myself included there’s better ways to form genuine connections

      All the dating apps suck ass.

      It’s because they want to make money, they have no incentive to match people and get them off the apps.

    8. Is there a dating app that isn’t designed to fail its users? They all make more money the longer you keep using it, and the more you have to pay extra for features that make it useful at all in the first place. Obviously they would want only enough success to keep the rest desperate.

    9. 90% of the „women“ on tinder are either dudes posing as women looking to scam you or bots

    10. >The company is testing a new AI-powered feature called “Chemistry,” in which people give Tinder permission to analyze their camera roll to learn more about their interests and personality.

      So back to how literally Chemistry.com and all the other millennial dating websites worked except since you can’t be bothered to answer some basic questions to find your soulmate we’ll use AI to get a 60% guess on what your actual interests are.

    11. I’m so glad human connections are becoming part of the corporate stockholder product lines. 

      I can’t wait to see actual friendships and human interaction paywalled behind a corporate overlord that has found a way to extract profit from human isolation. Surely this will not create perverse incentives to keep just miserable enough to be willing to pay for their shitty services.

      I’ve tried tinder and hinge in the two months post divorce. Tinder was awful. Hinge surprisingly great. Lots of actual matches and no one has tried to scam me. 41 year old guy in the Midwest.

      I know they’re owned by the same company but such a wildly different feel to me.

      Well, they’ve gotten shittier and the prices some of these apps ask for their subscription service (which gives you back features the app had years ago or in the case of Tinder, literally flick the switch to make it functional) is insane. I’ve never paid for dating app subscriptions (I’ve gotten close to that level of desperation, but never given in) but I remember them being no more than $25/month just 4 years ago, and I thought even that was ridiculous. Now? $25 gets you ONE WEEK. I repeat. ONE WEEK of the app functioning. Ah but dont worry, its only a breezy $50/month now! Or $200 a year! Or you could pay $300 for our LIFETIME SUBSCRIPTION! How about you pay $30 for ten of our *super duper lovey dovey* likes/roses that put you at the top of a person’s list which in Tinder they can’t see, it just makes your profile *more probable* to be in the next handful of profiles they see. Fucking insanity.

      Maybe they should have built a business model that didn’t actively fight you to find a partner, because if you do, you stop feeding the app cash.

    15. it’s not in tinder or any dating-app’s best interest for you to be matched with someone you like and stick with

    16. Flaky-Impact-2428 on

      Can’t believe there was a time when okcupid was a usable platform where I met awesome people and my ex.
      Now it’s just fake profiles a thousands miles away from where I live and goddammit, no settings changes it.

    17. Every dating app I’ve seen is just there to keep you on it paying money. Literally anything else is better for dating.

    18. This_Elk_1460 on

      Maybe don’t create an entire business model that relies on people constantly using your app and not finding relationships

    19. DontHaesMeBro on

      why don’t they stop monetizing the everloving shit out of it until it’s virtually useless than

      Maybe do something about bots while they’re at it

    20. upliftedfrontbutt on

      Because the app isn’t designed to hook you up with someone anymore. Unless of course you pay more. And even then.

      Used to be an absolute goldmine.

    21. dorkes_malorkes on

      The app has been useless as soon as they started limiting the number of right swipes u can do a day.

    22. The business model of all these apps are a clear conflict of interest. If the app does exactly what users want it to do – it would lose money.

      I’d love to see a dating app that did something like charging an up-front subscription with discounts if you DON’T get any dates, and/or free months if you aren’t matched in X months. Basically, you only pay if it’s working.

    23. NDeceptikonn on

      I had tinder for five minutes and just to see who liked/viewed my profile, they wanted me to pay. FORGET IT.

    24. Tinder made it so nobody is actually successul in dating so users keep coming back. Fuck these apps, never used one, go meet people in real life

    25. TheSlightDiscomfort on

      Met my wife on tinder despite the odds, glad I got off that shit before all the bots took over.

    26. Hyphenagoodtime on

      Uh, remember when we talked to one another in person and on anything else but a data mining app
