Tinder to charge ugly users more for premium services
People who receive far more left swipes than right ones will be charged more to use dating app Tinder, the app publishersÂ have announced today. The move is seen as part of a drive to monetise the app whilst simultaneously driving ugly people away fromÂ the platform. A spokesperson for Tinder said, âWe have done extensive customer testing, and the number one piece of feedback we get is âfewer ugly people pleaseâ.â âPeople are bored with having to swipe left all the time.â âSo our new feature will still allow ugly people to have a profile, but you will be safe in the knowledge that even though theyâre not much to look at, the fact that their still on TinderÂ means that at least theyâre rich.â âIt also allows us to effectively monetise the growing market of horny young people who are seemingly incapable of meeting someone in the real world.â Tinder user Simon Williams said he was disappointed by the announcement that Tinder willÂ start charging ugly people. He told us, âI donât think there are that many ugly women on tinder, so itâs never really been a problem for me.â âI mean, I swipe right for 90% of the profiles I see â so Iâm pretty sure that Iâll get a match from someone soon.â âItâs only been three months, so itâs still early days.â âAnyway, Iâm sure my chances have improved now that Iâm paying Â£20 a month for the privilege.â
