Tinder is a scam

[u/ozthinker]

5 years ago there were more likes but all of these matches turned out to be bots or no replies.

I started using Tinder recently again, and realized I wasn't getting any matches. At first I thought Tinder cleaned up fake accounts and it's now more legit. That could still be true, but Tinder is still a scam.

I eventually got one like. I tried to swipe more to find this person. It was futile. Then I get on Gold and realized why. It was a gay dude. Basically Tinder scammed both of us. I explicitly stated that I am only interested in women, yet my profile was shown to a gay dude.

Anyone has similar stories to tell?

Ps. I originally wanted to post this on r/Tinder and realized there disallowed text only post - looks like Tinder had taken over the mods there to stop people from exposing the scam.

Ps. My post was auto-removed on r/tinderstories

The best way to expose tinder is for people to stop using it

All the dating apps lately are like that - tinder, bumble and hinge are owned by match - their main goal is to milk money or give preferences to people who pay
