> If you assume honest usage, a high number of ratings becomes a negative signal. That is, it signals someone who doesn't want to stop using the app or is excessively selective.

If someone is looking for a long-term relationship, two selective people who both find who they're selecting for in each other seems like a good thing.

(That said, ratings in this area would have a huge number of problems. Not least of which that outcomes would strongly influence ratings, and if both people are happy then they stop needing the service, so any rating will come from a match in which one or the other person wasn't happy.)
