Tinder thinks some people will pay almost $500 a month for more ‘efficient ways to find connections’ with its ‘VIP’ plan::Tinder Select is only available to some of the dating app’s “highly engaged and active” users, and it’ll cost about $6,000 a year, Bloomberg reported.

    At what point does this just become pimping?

    (Surely they could make even more money by compensating people who are more in-demand for their time …)

      Yeah, next thing you know they’ll be sliding offers to the most liked people’s profiles offering the chance to become compensated daters if they go out with VIP profiles, no pressure to do anything sexual though, because that’d be illegal.

      Honestly, this 500$ a month thing is just sad, because it’ll definitely work (financially), and Tinder will do some shenanigans with the algorithm to make it seem a little worth it, and it’ll just definitely not be worth it to the people paying 500$ a month.

        Most of the people who are going to pay for it, are the ones who the algo has buried so hard they get shown to no one. So it will sadly give them fat better results…
