Hinge Takeover >>> Tinder, Bumble Pof

Tinder making u pay $9.99 a month for accidental swipes to the left :lol:

What they need to do is figure out why I'm not getting any notifications. I have to get on the app and see if I have one smh.

I updated the app. There's a limit on likes now for the free version. While it may help with the bots, there is no way im paying 10 a month.
 
Tinder messed this up big time.

No more straight swiping right smh.

They should have implemented ad's first and gone from there.
 
Yeah it's the hours!

I'm looking into the VC factor right now. They probably needed to start making money... Idk who the major investor was but it damn sure wasn't Thiel lol.

It was outlined by the founder in an article a couple months back. He wanted to make a premium service that allows for seeing the ones you've passed up and even checking the potential of yambs in places you're planning to visit.

I deleted the app a couple months ago so I'm not in the loop now :lol:
 
dude's trying to IPO. they were on CNBC for like 4 minutes a few months ago. gotta monetize eventually i guess. thing is, if i wanted to pay for a dating service, i'd just use match.com
 
Tinder's Premium Dating App Will Cost You More If You're Older

Tinder, the immensely popular dating app that lets users pick a potential match with just the swipe of a finger, launched a paid version this week in 140 countries. But there's a catch: Your age will determine how much you pay.

Tinder told NPR that U.S. users will pay $9.99 for Tinder Plus if they're under 30, and $19.99 per month if they're 30 and above. U.K. users between the ages of 18-27 will be charged 3.99 pounds per month, and users 28 and above will be charged 14.99 pounds per month.

In a statement to NPR, Tinder defended the move, and said testing has proved the tiered pricing will work.

"Over the past few months, we've tested Tinder Plus extensively in several countries," said Tinder spokeswoman Rosette Pambakian. "We've priced Tinder Plus based on a combination of factors, including what we've learned through our testing, and we've found that these price points were adopted very well by certain age demographics. Lots of products offer differentiated price tiers by age, like Spotify does for students, for example. Tinder is no different; during our testing we've learned, not surprisingly, that younger users are just as excited about Tinder Plus, but are more budget constrained, and need a lower price to pull the trigger."

Of course, students can be many different ages, so the analogy isn't quite right. And even though Tinder is saying the tiered pricing is all about young people's budget, it'd be easy to take the tiered pricing news as a subtle indicator of how likely — or unlikely — older people are to find love on the app.

So far, reaction to the pricing structure online hasn't been that bad, though tech blog Engadget did call it a "pretty sleazy catch."

The biggest feature of Tinder Plus is what the company is calling Rewind. In the free Tinder app, if you've swiped left on a potential match, signaling you're not interested, you never see them again. The Rewind button would allow users to undo those left swipes . In an interview with the London Evening Standard, Tinder CEO Sean Rad said people have been requesting the feature for some time:

"The Rewind button solves a simpler problem. Rad says he has the problem of dismissing attractive partners by mistake 'all the time' and says users have been demanding the service from day one. It is actually probably more useful for in-demand women, who spend so much time rejecting users that they swipe past the occasional profile that has potential — but you can imagine desperate and delusional men signing up for Tinder Plus after discarding a hot girl only to rewind and find she wasn't interested in the first place."
The paid app will also have a feature called Tinder Passport that will allow users to look for matches in a particular area even if they're not actually there.

Whether users react kindly to the paid version of Tinder, and its tiered pricing remains to be seen, but even if the app gets a bad round of press from the rollout, it should be able to withstand it. Some estimates say Tinder already has 50 million monthly users, and that number is growing daily.

It's Benchmark, not shocked.

They could have done this sooooooo much better. Put me on the board and I'll make this happen.

I learned so much working up there for a startup.
 
Won't work. Women don't want to be seen as ****. You can't say it outright like "download the let's **** app". Got be a "dating" app, with less limitations. For instance, remove age range limits. I swear I wanna murk a nice blonde 50 yr old.

I think the age helps since on Tinder you can literally search for just 50 year olds lol.
 
I got tired of Tinder a little while back. All there is is just girls putting links to their IG. Which is def appreciated at times but what's the point. And the few matches I would get never respond
