Tinder Gold gave me 3,000 more date options than I could deal with

When Tinder released its upgraded, pay-for-perks version to iOS users, it was an
immediate success. Tinder Gold shot to the number one spot in the top-grossing iOS apps within a single day; even today, more than two weeks later, it’s only dropped to number two. Unsurprisingly, a lot of people want to skip swiping on one face at a time and jump straight into a pool of potential suitors. Also unsurprisingly, I am one of those people.
My initial reaction to Tinder Gold hovered somewhere between “hell yeah lemme get in there” and “Tinder as we know it is over.” Regular Tinder is a game you play with others to see if they’ll like you back. By removing that stipulation of one swipe at a time, Tinder isn’t just watering itself down. It’s opening the dating floodgates. Still, there’s something impossibly alluring about getting a secret look at anyone who might find me attractive, so I slapped down 15 bucks and got to creeping.
With Tinder Gold, you no longer have to swipe individually to see your matches. Instead, everyone who’s liked you appears as a list of profile photos you can scroll through at your leisure. You can even even hold and swipe multiple matches at a time to speed up the process. The service also grants you Tinder Plus features like Super Likes, control over your location, and so on. You also get access to one free “boost” per month, which puts your face in front of more users than usual. (You can pay additional fees to activate this service more than once a month.) https://www.theverge.com/2017/9/19/16332838/tinder-gold-3000-more-date-options
