Bumble was my last straw for dating apps a few years back. I paid for a the premium service for a few months, then i started dating a girl so i cancelled it. I even had an email notification and everything saying it was cancelled. Four months later i was still getting charged, and they had zero customer service contact info to try and dispute it. So i called up my bank and disputed the charges, forwarded on the cancellation email, and then got a full refund from the bank.
Fuck dating apps. They profit off the misery and loneliness of people and have every incentive to keep you single and miserable.
On a lot of then you mysteriously start getting likes and matches when you start using them less or your premium is about to run out or just ran out.
It's almost as if when the profit is in having paying users then keeping people on the platform is the optimal working app not the one where you date and successfully leave.
