Every time I see something about tinder it's just worse and worse. why would I want to use it?
It was good for a while, but yeah, they need to make money somehow and I guess that's how they decided to do it. This one will definitely backfire. The last thing anyone wants is getting dick pics from a sad sack who pays $500/Mo for that privilege. Women are going to leave in droves.
That's fine. For every woman who leaves, 10 more bots will join, and they'll appreciate the extra attention!
pretty sure you can't send images on tinder
The ladies will be so impressed with just how much 8 is equal to D!
You wouldn't, but that's fine with Match Group: JP Morgan[^1] are loving this new monetization strategy. If they think they can get more money out of their users they will, the experience and usefulness of their app be damned. Very similar to aggressively monetized mobile games, but extra icky since they're monetizing human relationships.
[^1]: I'm sure other investment firms are pleased as well, but JP Morgan was the firm mentioned in the article
It's the most used dating app. Logically people think that if a dating app has a lot of users, their chances of finding matches are higher. But it's rigged.
