Comment on ‘It’s quite soul-destroying’: how we fell out of love with dating apps
pete_the_cat@lemmy.world 1 year agoI think the lifetime premium is a joke because you’re paying a lot up front instead of monthly or weekly. Yeah, they may get less money, but probably not. As the article says, people tend to stop using them after a month or two regardless of the outcome (that’s definitely my experience), so getting like $150 up front for lifetime access is a lot better than someone paying $35/month for two months.

For me, it was definitely a huge money saver. Working in tech (now a remote job), not drinking, not being religious, and having extremely “meet a girl” friendly hobbies like hiking and gaming … it was extremely limiting.
A 1 time $150 was a steal compared to some of the other apps like the scam that is eharmony.

Wow we’re like the same person… Maybe I should give this lifetime Bumble a try

I mean, if you’re wasting money on other apps… And you just want an app with a pretty good population that you’re not constantly paying money into… It’s a pretty good deal assuming they still offer it

I was you for 5 years (12 hour shifts 7-7, 6 months night, 6 months day, worked 3 days a week and every other Saturday) but in Manhattan. I bought 3 and 6 month subscriptions and I think that was the only time I actually got dates on there. I was surprised when I got one a few months back on a free account.
