Paid for Tinder Platinum, Activity Dropped to Zero, Then Banned for Investigating Their Shady Practices (Preparing Legal Action)

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

🔵 I'm just an ordinary guy from Toronto, Canada — but with an extraordinary story of abuse and unfair treatment by Tinder and Match Group.
I can't fight this alone. I need everyone who has been mistreated like I was to stand up with me against this giant that has gotten away with hurting users for too long.

I’m posting this because I believe something extremely unfair — and potentially illegal — is happening to many Tinder users, and it’s time we stand up together.

🔴 Here’s what happened to me:

  • I paid for Tinder Platinum, expecting premium features: more visibility, faster matches, Priority Likes, and Boost effectiveness.

  • For a while, it seemed to work. But then, out of nowhere, my matches, likes, and activity dropped to zero — literally nothing, even after weeks.

  • I kept swiping daily, used Boosts, updated my profile — nothing changed.

  • I reached out to Tinder Support multiple times, providing detailed evidence. Every time, they gave generic advice like “Change your photos” or “Be patient.” They repeatedly told me my account was "in full health."

  • Out of frustration, I decided to test my account's visibility myself — by creating a second account purely to compare performance side-by-side. This second account immediately got visibility and matches, while my paid Platinum account remained completely invisible — proving Tinder's claims were false.

  • Instead of acknowledging the issue, Tinder banned me for "having multiple accounts" — even though the only reason I created a second account was to confirm that Tinder had been misleading me about my account’s health.

  • Meanwhile, Tinder kept charging me for Platinum, fully knowing my profile was hidden and the service they advertised was no longer being delivered.

🔴 This is a serious issue because:

  • Tinder sells visibility and matching power with Platinum.

  • Yet they silently strip away your account’s visibility — often because you swiped too much — without ever informing you, effectively making the subscription worthless.

  • They never inform users that they have been shadowbanned or restricted.

  • They continue charging monthly fees despite secretly disabling the core service.

  • Beyond financial harm, the emotional toll is massive — endlessly swiping, feeling invisible, rejected, and confused without knowing the real reason.

🔴 Bigger Picture: Match Group's Monopoly on Online Dating

  • Match Group (Tinder's parent company) has quietly acquired almost every major dating app — Tinder, Hinge, OkCupid, PlentyOfFish, and more.

  • If you are banned on one app, they blanket ban you across all platforms, without transparency and without offering second chances.

  • Even in the real world, people convicted of serious crimes are eventually given a chance at rehabilitation and reintegration. Yet Match Group permanently isolates users — often for trivial or misunderstood reasons — stripping away one of the few real avenues for connection in an increasingly antisocial society.

  • Dating apps today are not just entertainment — they are essential social infrastructure. Banning people without due process or room for growth is harmful, discriminatory, and deeply unjust.

🔴 This could qualify as:

  • Misrepresentation of paid services

  • Breach of contract

  • Deceptive and unfair business practices

  • Negligent emotional and mental distress from undisclosed shadowbanning

  • Anti-competitive monopoly behavior (potential antitrust concerns)

📢 If this happened to you, you are NOT alone — and it’s time to act.

👉 Please comment below or send me a direct message with:

  • What subscription you had (Platinum, Gold, Plus, Boosts)

  • When you noticed your visibility/activity suddenly dropped

  • Whether you were ever informed about any restrictions on your account

  • How it impacted you (financially, emotionally, etc.)

👉 If you prefer to stay anonymous, you can fill out this short form here:
🔗 https://forms.gle/JzbnR471XcjuM7XW9

📣 Important:

Please use the Google Form if you can.
I'm gathering as many real stories as possible to prepare a serious legal case — one that will set a lasting example for Tinder and every dating app out there:
➔ Never treat paying users like they are disposable.
➔ Never hide critical account information while continuing to charge users.

By sharing your story through the form, you will: 📬 Receive timely updates as the legal action progresses, ✊ Be part of a growing movement fighting for fairness and transparency in online dating, 💵 Be eligible for compensation or settlement benefits if the case is successful.

Together, we can make sure this isn't just another quiet injustice — but a lesson the entire industry remembers. Your voice matters — and together, we can finally make a change that the entire industry remembers.

It only takes one customer to start a movement. Let's show Tinder the power of many. 🔵 If you believe users deserve transparency and fairness, please upvote this post. Every upvote helps more people see it — and helps more victims find their voice.

yubo SUCKS

3 Upvotes

this app is an absolute joke. i gave it way too many chances and i regret wasting so much time on it. yubo claims to be about community and safety but in reality it is just a mess of terrible moderation, useless support, and nonstop harassment from predators.

first off the moderation system is completely broken. you can get banned for literally saying normal words. i have been hit with multiple chat bans for saying “freaking” or “shit” or just defending myself when guys harassed me. meanwhile those same guys can tell me to shut up comment on my body sexually harass me and nothing happens to them. but god forbid i say one bad word in frustration and i get banned for hours or days at a time. the last straw was them banning me for four days for abuse harassment and bullying when i did not do any of that. no proof no explanation nothing. they just slap the ban on you and act like you are guilty.

support is useless. they either ignore your emails until the ban expires or they lie straight to your face. they will tell you they reviewed and lifted your ban when in reality the 24 hours or four days just ran out on its own. they say they take action against predators but i have seen the same people who sexually harass others come back again and again. reporting and blocking does not do anything. it just pushes the problem onto someone else instead of removing these disgusting people from the app for good. there are no lifetime bans like they claim. there are only temporary ones so abusers know they can come back after a couple days.

the hypocrisy is unreal. they punish victims for standing up for themselves while protecting predators. i was literally told not to engage and just report and block. how is that real advice when the majority of guys on this app are creeps. blocking does not stop them from harassing other people. it just lets them keep going. yubo does not care about its users only about pretending to enforce guidelines while silencing anyone who pushes back.

the app itself is trash too. it constantly glitches randomly refuses to connect to wifi and the so called safety features do not even work half the time.

i finally deleted my account and the app because i am not wasting another second on this clown show. if you value your time your sanity or your safety stay far away from yubo. it is filled with predators fake promises and one of the worst support teams i have ever dealt with. embarrassing.
