I agree and will add that all dating apps do things like this. They prey on lonely people using false hope.
Tinder even introduced paid “boosts” (pay to be shown to users who otherwise might never see you), which is identical to a slot machine.

Maybe you get a match during your boost. A random reward! And only Tinder knows whether your boost caused it or not.
There's very unilateral information in every transaction with dating apps, and that's the problem.
