Fraud is a key part of the business model. Check the FTC filling against Match. The fake profiles get you engaged, and then you get a notification of your match. By the time you actually view it the other account is disabled. But you already paid. One needs to think of the ideal consumer of this stuff. Let's create a character , Dave. Dave logs on, gets a match the first week. He goes out with Sarah . They hit it off and he cancels his subscription. Very bad for dating apps. That's lost revenue. Let's play it back. Sarah was actually a bot which got disabled before Dave could even chat. But as Dave has no way of knowing this, it motivates him to stay subscribed. Which one of these two scenarios is more beneficial to Match / Bumble , etc ? In my experience I actually went out with a good amount of people. All were 30ish , unemployed and constantly complaining about their parents. Since I'm not interested in people like that I only date in real life. The results have been tremendous. I went out with several six-figure earners in 2019, including one special girl who was making 200k. Plus I don't really trust bumble or whoever to not sell my private information to make a few extra bucks. Life is a journey not a destination
