Jesus Christ, I had thought Hinge was still independent from Match Group. Guess I'll uninstall and start talking to people in person...

What they do is literally like P&G in the laundry isle or Unilever in soap. Have the illusion of choice while it's really all the same thing with a UI change and maybe a unique feature or three.

The incentive dating apps has is built to be completely opposite of what (at least many of) their users are trying to use it for.

Hinge IMO is the best of the bunch because it's the only app still run by its original founder, even though it's owned by Match.

		They changed the algorithm a few months back to be much more like Tinder. Pushing people out of your league physically to the top of the stack, making it less likely that you'll find a match, and they're moving and increasing number of features behind Hinge+.
