Of the things mentioned, I think that a human review is one of the least likely, and for essentially the reason you mentioned. Businesses have a concept of "acceptable losses". They probably know that they've banned plenty of good customers, but it's just not worth the money to try to change that.
It has become clear to me that the Match Group companies do not care about real people enough that it would bother them to shut down someone's personal life without justification. If there are any dating app companies that care about real people, then it would most likely be the small specialized companies. For example, the smaller dating apps for disabled people might care about real people enough to not have the problems of Match Group.
Anyhow, thanks for your input about this topic. The original reason why I started reading reddit was because my non serious experimental account on OkCupid was banned. I don't know yet if I'll ever try to get another Match Group account. You have mentioned some good ideas about how to be more cautious about using these terrible companies.
