    But the profit motive is inherent to all the online dating apps. It's what decides how the algorithms work. There is no app for just meeting people seperate from that.

      True, but I feel like they got much worse over the last 3-4 years. Before that they weren't trying to nickel-and-dime you for every single button press.

      10 years ago when I met my partner online I didn't pay for anything.

        It's definitely getting worse across the board with everything lately, that's true. 5-10 years ago online dating was probably a ton better.
