      That’s evil but let’s be honest, that app treating their customers as cash cows for like last 10 years.

      > The settlement primarily applies to California residents aged 29 or older who purchased Tinder Plus or Tinder Gold on or after March 2, 2015. Some users aged 28 and older who bought the subscriptions in California starting March 2, 2016 may also qualify.

      I’m offended that Tinder thinks 28 is the age cutoff between young and old.

      > Back in 2023, the app launched an invite-only tier called ‘Tinder Select’, which cost users $499 a month. The subscription featured exclusive benefits, including sending messages without matching with someone and showing the most desired profiles.

      Sending messages without matching? Doesn’t that destroy the whole concept?

      A $60.5 million fine for nearly a decade of algorithmic age discrimination isn’t a punishment; it is just the cost of doing business. They have been quietly overcharging everyone over 29 since 2015. Tinder undoubtedly made vastly more than $60M off this tiered pricing model—this settlement is just a retroactively applied tax.

      Maybe Steam will be next with the lawsuits, to eliminate adjusting prices of how much a game is based on the perceptual wealth of the country you live in.

      They did this in Canada as well I swear. I legitimately made a profile, set my age to 19, and paid 30% less. Then id just delete my account and remake it with the proper age and recover my „tinder benefits“

      Waste of money either way but I’m 100% sure it was way cheaper.
