As someone who's never used it, what features are there that get paywalled? I have a very naïve idea about what it is like.
Last time I used it, things like seeing who liked your profile and super liking other profiles (normally you get limited number of those and they indicate that you're really interested), and seeing who viewed your profile.
One major issue is that Tinder is full of bots. The company doesn't sanitize it cuz it's in their interest to have men feel like there are more women on it than there actually are.
Well I'm glad I never got into it. Everything about that just feels icky.
Maybe I'm just old, but I like the idea of meeting in real life and progressing from there to be preferable rather than meeting because of an app. That puts the first real life encounter in a weird context, so I think it's so much more natural if you encounter them genuinely first and then get attracted to each other just a better system overall.
I mean I guess it can work out, but it just seems extremely uncomfortable all around.
