Note that this describes a past era. Now, the main apps usually have some way by which if you pay you get higher visibility in the algorithm. E.g. on Tinder if you are premium you get a boost each month and five superlikes a day. The latter show you specifically to the person you superlike (but identify you as having done so), the former boosts your general presence.
You can also buy more boosts, and these do up your presence.
The headline would still be accurate though if it read “never join a dating app which requires payment”.

- k__ 6y agoI paid for OKCupid once for a month or so, because I always had like 25 likes (for multiple years now) I couldn't see and I was curious. I could see my like and in that paid month my likes almost doubled. I didn't act on them, because I wasn't interested in the people who liked me. But I wouldn't see this as a OKC problem. Overall I had the impression, I got my moneys worth.
