This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I thought it was common knowledge that the pickier you are on Tinder, the better your matches will be. Swipe right on everyone and you won't have much luck on that app.

It's no longer determined by your swiping behavior, but rather who swipes left or right on your profile, and their elo.

If you only get swiped right by people with a low elo, then your elo will drop and your profile will only be shown to people with a low elo.

Vice versa, if a lot of people with high elo swipe right on your profile you will receive a higher elo and be show to profiles with a high elo

If it was determined by who you swipe right on it would be too easy to game the system

Like when they discriminated against users because of their age...

[–] Anivia@feddit.org 1 points 3 hours ago

They still do that, and it's no secret.

A quick Google shows that they charged over thirties in the UK double for a premium account.

Devils advocate says that is because older people are more like to have money (people are probably getting a bit more desperate at that age too).

It looks like the policy is revoked tho.

We should charge people based on their ability to pay for food too!

[–] 13esq@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

We do it for taxes and in my opinion, it doesn't go far enough.
