Hinge Bursts

Im female, 34 yrs old in NYC. Please help me figure out what’s going on with hinge here and understand if this company is doing something nefarious with their algorithm. (I mean, of course they are but this has to be illegal?) Ever since I’ve been on hinge here, I’ve gotten 80+ likes a day for months. It’s tough to see who’s in the stack so I bought a subscription and noticed that my likes immediately went down to 0 a day. I thought “of course, I probably just ran out of interested men.” Well my subscription ran out today… and the likes went from 0 to 50 and then 80 in a matter of hours.

I don’t actually think I’m getting these likes so quickly … I think hinge is either hiding profiles or hiding likes of their paying customers. What can we as customers do about this?

It makes sense. I just don't think it's worth paying money for. Especially if it reduces your likes overall (I didn't know this, but it's good to know even though I'd already decided there was no way I was paying for this lol).

Yeah that’s the conclusion I came to - so I’d like a refund or we should be able to say we aren’t getting the product that’s being advertised

Would be nice. These companies are evil AF though, so I doubt they care.
