These apps are a service, and as such - in theory - it’s not out of the question to ask for some sort of payment.

HOWEVER, the price they ask is so damned high it’s not worth it.

I think Tinder wants $35/m to let you “see your likes” (the people who have swiped right on you), and as far as I know that’s basically the only way to ever see them because just using the app regularly they never seem to show up. I think I’ve had 40 Likes in a queue for about a year because they just never show up in day to day usage. I assume it’s all bot profiles from other countries at this point.

It's all people outside of your search parameters that's why they never show up. So basically it's people you're not interested in anyways and it's not worth paying them money to find that out.

It will all be people you already swiped left on or don't pass your filters.

Don't worry, it's going to be people that you swiped off, but they're still going to show up in the "people who liked you"
