Tinder, a dating app, has recently updated its Terms of Service. Among minor bureaucratic modifications, one major change aims to battle impersonations. From now on, Tinder will ban web developers who claim to be 'engineers'. While backend- and other types of software developers seem to be unaffected, many believe the ToS will be amended soon to include those as well.

    @LinearArray Deleted Tinder around a week ago.

    It used to be really good back in 2012-2014 but not anymore I think.

        True haha. But also the the algorithm was better. When Tinder needed to cash in for the investors the quality dropped because then the focus became about making money more than it’s about satisfying the users. We have to remember that if you get a match which gets into a relationship, Tinder loses two customers.

      So you continued to use it for 10 years before deleting it, or you just got on and the hype didn’t live up to expectations?

        @Tikiporch
        I used it until around a week ago.

        It was just a habit when I was single and then a week ago I finally evaluated that habit and realized that the quality had actually dropped in 2017 when I got back onto the app after a 3 years long relationship.
