I don't get the point of this post

I think it's supposed to be dystopian that you can buy gift cards for Tinder but I dunno, if you know someone is using Tinder then it might be an useful gift. Especially since it's premium or what's it called is that expensive.

Plus there's the whole economy of people who don't have access to credit cards, but can buy gift cards in person, or trade for them.

This. And even if you have one, maybe Tinder is not the company you want to share your credit card details with?

OTOH, I think you need a facebook account to log in? It used to be like that a few years ago.

This is for people who don't want their SO to see Tinder on their statement

[-] udon@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

For example, and there may be good reasons for that, too. Picture a person in an abusive/violent relationship who tries to escape.

"my standards are too high to fuck you myself as a gift, so much so that I decided to purchase you a gift card, with my own money, so that someone else can reject you instead."

"oh, thanks"

Fucking your friend as a gift sounds bizarre

If I had to choose between my mates trying to fuck me or getting me a Tinder Gift card, I'd go get a new set of mates haha

[-] wreckedcarzz@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Sounds like you have some pretty dull friends, then :p

[-] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

It's more it being a gift that makes it bizarre

Would you prefer it be a punishment?

[-] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 1 points 2 months ago

Why do I feel attacked?

[-] glimse@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Dystopia is when gift cards

[-] GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world -4 points 2 months ago
