Replying to Hannah: agree on the first point about tinder still the, less on the second.

The thing about tinder still the most popular dating app or has everyone moved on is that a fair share of the matches from the first week turned out to be worth the time.

Someone who does not push to move platforms is worth more than any badge on the profile, especially where Tinder is concerned.

Where I part company: tinder still the most popular dating app or has everyone moved on is far more location-dependent than people admit.

Replying to Carter Scott: I do not think that holds for tinder still the generally.

For tinder still the most popular dating app or has everyone moved on, speaking only for myself what mattered was activity rather than branding.
