$500? For this?

New AI features include recaps of previous conversations with other users, daily personalised profile recommendations and profile insights to help users identify who they are more likely to be compatible with.

What the absolute fuck is this scam. So glad I ditched dating apps to be miserable and lonely.

None of that seems very valuable to me. Recaps from conversations is presumably not hard to do yourself, you meet someone, talk to someone, you read back to previous messages. Recommendations and insights seem equally worthless, the computer is already recommending users to you, often the ones that paid them money already if they have premium members. Nothing got enshitified more than dating sites, 20 years ago, 15 even, they worked. For free usually. Now they don't. idk grinder but the other ones are all garbage now.
