The faster you find a real partner, the less money the app makes. And the quicker its userbase shrinks.

Only in some business models.

You could brand yourself as the "one and done" dating site of you're really that good.

Or, come up with a payment model that's more like an a recruiter where you get paid when there's a match (assuming you can verify a successful relationship).

It's challenging but I don't think the industry is doomed towards conflicting interests for users and match makers.

Assuming word-of-mouth promotion doesn't do anything beneficial for the app makers.
