      That was my experience as well. Before and during COVID (~2019-2021) I had matches and dates on Tinder consistently (depending on usage up to 1-3 per week) with most of them going somewhere. Had some of the best and most interesting connections in that time.

      Found a GF, broke up 1.5 years later, and tried dating apps after some time again… Those were a shitshow now - the matches were noticeably worse and less frequent, even with the premium sub. I just gave up after some time.
