I don’t know about the truth of this but I can attest to a certain version of this from first hand experience.

If your profile is not as desirable or just average they start hiding your profile so you don’t get as many matches. Then you pay and start getting slightly more matches. Since you’re average you’ll keep paying for a while till you get matched or maybe not.

They keep a few of the desirable people visible without paying to make the app look good. But those people may never even see you unless you pay.

Capitalism rocks.
