Tinder, the app where everyone’s a “good match” until they’re 29, is now shelling out $60.5 million to settle a lawsuit accusing it of charging older users more for subscriptions. Because nothing says “inclusive dating” like price-gouging people who’ve seen Friends reruns more than once.
Per court docs, the company allegedly overcharged California users aged 29+ for Gold plans between 2015 and 2016. The lawsuit, led by some guy named Allan Candelore (a name that sounds like it belongs on a Seinfeld episode), claimed this violated California’s Unruh Act. Tinder, of course, denies everything-because admitting guilt would require a soul.
After a dramatic courtroom showdown (the court denied Tinder’s arbitration request, oops), the two sides settled during a mediation session. $60.5 million later, Tinder’s now trying to buy silence. If only they’d spent that money on a better algorithm.
The payout applies to anyone 29+ who bought Plus or Gold in California post-March 2015. So, if you’re still swiping at 30, congrats-you’re owed a fraction of a cent and a lesson in capitalism. Tinder remains unapologetic, which is the same attitude that got them here in the first place.
