Swipes are based on elo and attractiveness proximity. This is probably a much better user experience than uglies paying to boost their rank. If you see only attractive people then congratulations.

Tinder shows some pretties then some uglies, then back and forth. It should be very visible that successive swipes are groups.

Turns out that users stop noticing pretty if they only see pretty. Better highlight the contrast to keep users engaged.
