Absolutely disgraceful that they exist. They prey on people's desperation to not be lonely and through that, people will pay anything to not be lonely anymore.
I've been on a couple of them and they do this Facebook-like trick, where they stuff your inbox full of notifications that people are suddenly wanting to contact you. But in order to access your inbox, you have to pay to see what's there. What are the odds that after just registering, making your profile and everything that it is just bots or nothing in that inbox?
Just bullshit and predatory.
Facebook's Dating app, while free and everything, they limit your character limit. So you have to dumb down your profile and you'll maybe get one person or two in spacious periods of time. But even then you're spending a lot of time just swiping past people who are restricted to the same thing and you don't learn a lot about them.
