Match is the best app to meet authentic people. I’ve been on a few dates with lovely ladies and have had some meaningful conversations through this app. Although, my experiences have not led me to meet that “special someone,” I feel that many of the folks using this app are seeking real dating experiences and meaningful relationships. I didn’t have to worry about stumbling upon scam accounts or sex workers. With that said, I’ve let my subscription expire. When I was a subscribed member, I began to get the feeling that my account was not being promoted in the swipe cycle for other accounts to see—perhaps to encourage me to purchase boosts. My profile views were maybe 1 or 2 a week with only an occasional unprompted like. I actively liked accounts and messaged individuals, and only then, would a profile view or match happen. As soon as my subscription expired, my profile views shot up from 1-2 a week to over 10. My likes also increased substantially. I have also received some “matches”, but unfortunately I cannot view or interact with them in the free version. I wonder if nonsubscriber accounts get more exposure? I was surprised how many non-subscriber accounts I would see. Knowing that they couldn’t see my likes or messages, I felt I was wasting my time. *With the low exposure of my account as a subscriber, I don’t feel the app was worth the cost.* Subscriber accounts should automatically be boosted over non subscribers rather than pushed down the stack. Only non-subscribers should have the option to purchase one-time boosts. It’s backwards.
