What's the outcome when everyone pays for it?

"Everyone" wont. When I was 22, in pretty good shape, and had a full head of hair I didnt need to pay for bumble. Last time I was on an app I was ~27, in okay shape, and bald. If I was taking it seriously I would have paid for it because I saw a massive impact on my matches based on age/hair status.

In theory the goal is to get married and quit the app but something tells me that their business model isn't based on that idea.

It’s very dependent on the age group (and of course, people themselves).

I’d be willing to bet that in 18-25 (maybe even higher) age group most people are looking to have fun, not get married.

Back to the popularity contest, and virtually impossible to use without paying.

Or they’ll just add a higher tier.

It’s a very cruel numbers game.
