      No, you must pay to find your soulmate. If you’re too poor to pay, you’re too poor to date. /s

      The issue is that services cost money inherently. No matter what app, the user base has to have the infrastructure behind it to support all the users.

      Guys, maybe you don’t know this but Twitter and tinder DONT FUCKING RUN ON YOUR PHONE! THEY ALL RUN SERVER SIDE.

      So there is some kind of cluster, probably aws or azure or Google web services on the back end.

      So who is paying for it to run if customers aren’t? Ads? Jesus? Someone has to pay for that service run. Not to mention the people salaries to support and maintain that system.
