      And having a practical monopoly by Match doesn’t help either.

        Kinda like Luxottica being the reason why most sunglasses cost $175 for $0.10 worth of plastic.

      I liked what bumble did with the “lifetime premium”. It gives them an incentive to actually get you a match.

      Coincidentally… I met my current girlfriend on Bumble after trying a litany of apps over the course of years… Definitely not saying it’s a good or easy option though. Part of it is that I’m picky, but I treated it a lot like a job for years to get this relationship.
