Is HingeX really a scam or worth the ridiculous price? 

You sir are the sexiest man I've ever seen!

It's a scam. I've been on dating sites for 10 years with hardly anything to show for it. I paid for a whole year of Premium features for OkCupid and I did not have success. What's worse is before I could even cancel it, they stole the money for an entire other years' payment! Yet another reason why we need communism.

been over a month now, are you married yet? :P

@@andyroo7206 I am! I decided to stop waiting for someone and married myself. Though it's probably headed for divorce since the laundry is piling up and we don't go on dates no more.

@@Sco-Showyou had me on the first half ngl 😂

It's a different struggle. That being said being a straight dude is way harder on dating apps than being a chick. Not to say chicks don't have struggles in dating.

ya, i made a hinge account because ive been out of the dating scene after my last relationship for like 4 years. its my first time on a dating app ever and holy shit the narcissism, flakiness, people message me but no response when i msg back. I probably skipped on 30% of the women because of videos showing off their booty in yoga shorts and degen stuff like that. literally it just feels stupid to use the app lol

As a lesbian here, I think every different genders struggles here. Even Hinge seems like the most serious one, much likely to meet better people compared to other dating apps. My experiences so far are quite horrible, I used it for 2 months now, only 30% people replied to my messages. If u luckily got them agreed on meet up, I experienced 5 girls canceled it on last minute. ( Any ridiculous excuses they can come up with: my bestie’s grandpa passed away, Knees not feeling well, mental issues breakdown, etc) 😂 Even you guys really met up, just a bunch of narcissist, arrogant, rude people. I met up six girls so far, only one person is nice and friendly. And the rest of them, just no spark at all. “ Sometimes some people are single because they got their serious issues, they are like hot mess!” I think going to events is so much likely to meet up decent people, definitely not on dating apps.

Unfortunately in the world of capitalism it's just good business. 🙁

Hah, thanks for the laugh man 😂

I usually get 1-2 likes a day on Hinge and I didn't see that change much during my paid subscription for HingeX. During the paid month I got to send regular likes to my "type" but I don't think I was shown organically on their feeds. Since the paid month ended I haven't noticed that they "nuked" my account but I'm back to not seeing many people that the algorithm knows are my "type" anymore except in the standouts tab where you have to send a paid "rose." But I used Hinge for free for probably a year so their algorithm has all the data they need to know what my preferred type is so they can paywall it. If I cared and had time to kill I'd make a second account to test if I'd see everyone again since the algorithm wouldn't have any data to start with.

I love the enthusiasm but alas, I'm not in a position to file lawsuits against multi-conglomerate billion dollar companies 😅 This little video will have to do!

Hi John! I live in Los Angeles so there's definitely a lot of gays around. I mainly use the free version of Tinder and Hinge, and every 3-4 months I pay for Tinder Platinum for a month when they do a half off promo. I haven't found a dating app I actually like (though I thought Hinge was going to be different when it first came out, before the heavy monetization and algorithm paywalling). I believe both Hinge and Tinder allow you to upload short videos now so I'm going to look into that and see if that affects # of matches. Re: Icheb... if you're talking about the first couple minutes in an episode of Picard.. I was PISSED. The character had a ton of growth from Voyager and for them to do what they did for "shock" value was a real waste, in my opinion. I get that this was Picard's show and they didn't have time to treat the character properly, but they could have done lots of other things to introduce/have an affect on Seven. But that's just my take, thanks for the question :) 🖖

Thanks!

That's a great request, thank you! Will definitely include that in a video 😊

Agreed. Most men would be attracted to him.

@@Kyle-ms2etLol 😂 I really wish it’s that easy.

Congrats!

@@Sco-Show no lol hahaha I was making a joke I’m a spinster

I take things way too literally, I realize the joke now 😂

Because Grindr is completely different. It’s just people in your direct area, mostly with no face

Assumptions inhibit conversation; I honestly didn't remember Hinge had an ethnicity filter. My ignorance isn't an excuse, though it answers your original question. I would agree there's a conversation to be had about the potential endorsement of racism when such filters are included. There are a few apps that have removed ethnicity filters (Tinder, Bumble, Grindr) so using those over Hinge could potentially provide a different experience.

As a black man, I’m not pressed that you didn’t mention an ethnicity filter, good video

@@Vincent_63I’m pressed, and not everyone agrees with said filter

@@pantsuck11 it’s better to have it than not, some people have preferences, why make it harder for them

Some black men want to date only black men and vice versa. I’m personally open to all races. Why is the filter a problem though ?
