Tinder messed up the monetization

I understand the need to monetize your app so it's attractive to buyers and/or Wall Street if that's the goal, but a subscription service wasn't the way to go.
A 10-15 second ad when you open the app and a 10-15 second ad in between every 5-10 people to swipe would have done the trick.
Maybe people in big cities will pay the $5 for the extra swipes, but I'm not doing it on principle alone.

The beauty of social media and sites like this is there will always be something better waiting to take it's spot whenever it oversteps

Tinder has gotten trashier over time. It's really not even worth being free anymore so I'm interested to see how this will work them.

What did they do exactly?
Seems like it would be tough to monetize it by other means other than by selling it to a social media company.

I was unsuccessful when tinder was free. Definitely not going to pay for it now
When my profile was active I had 5 matches out of over 1500 swipe rights...pretty pathetic

I said F it and paid. I actuallystarted doing a little better but maybe that was a coincidence...
Tinder is still the shite. I don't think I've had a Thursday in 2 months without a "date"
