Whoever coded tinder and bumble, fuck you for preying on desperation to try to make a quick buck.

Dating apps are just a tool for attractive folks to get quick self validation and for desperate folks to lose even more self esteem.

    @RocketSurgeon they've got a lot of tools to prey on desperation, mostly for males since they make up a bigger portion of the desperate demographic:

    - withholding profiles you would match with and showing them as "3+ likes" to try to convince you to pay for premium
    - not showing your profile to people you might match with to try to get you to buy boost (which reverses this and gets you matches as such)
    - telling you that you have a new like (fake & a lie) to try to bait you into opening the app
    - automatically decreasing the match rate after your first day of having an account (you've been "retained")

    Etc etc, you can find a lot of shit by inspecting the network tab in chrome devtools

    @RocketSurgeon Definitely a user problem.

    I'm ugly as shit & got only 1 match after swiping yes to everyone lol. But it's not Tinder and Bumble's fault I'm unattractive. Blaming them is pointless and illogical lol

    A good way to get the opposite effect (even when you're in the desperate category) is to just reject everyone no matter what. It'll make you feel like you're turning down a bunch of people that are more attractive than you.

    @Stuxnet getting matches is definitely on the user but I'm talking about withholding matches/hiding function behind a paywall.

    @woodworks Well how the hell are they supposed to get funding to keep this shit going?

    @Stuxnet they've got features people would pay for anyways (seeing who already liked you, boosting your profile, sending direct messages, changing your age/location, etc)

    Paying for extra features is fine but hiding the main function of a free app that already has tons of ads behind a paywall is just going too far (and tinder and bumble actually do this less than other dating apps which are just a scam to begin with). Plus they could raise a high valuation off of just having lots of users (TanTan strategy).

    @woodworks Ok.

    Well at the end if the day, nobody makes you use it.

    Just delete it and get on with your life. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

    btw do a quick search for ex-Okcupid admin/moderator confessions

    they provided quite interesting insight into how these sites works and how Okcupid pretty much fallen apart when Tinder owners got their hands on

    Dating apps often get a bad rap, but in my experience, they can be a mixed bag. While some use them for quick self-validation or to feed their ego, others, like me, have found hidden gems. Take https://myeden.me/ for example. It's a platform where meaningful connections are made. You can find like-minded individuals, form genuine friendships, and even land unforgettable dates. It's more than just swiping left or right; it's about finding real connections in a digital world.
