The only fix I came up with, is to charge people some amount up front, then if they're still active weekly users in 6 months, they get a refund. That would create a better incentive structure for the app.

Wouldn't that discourage forming good, lasting relationships?

You think someone would give up on a real relationship just to a some money back?
Would you? How much money would be worth giving up on "The One"?

People do much stupider things for less. Like eating tide pods.

Are those similar in some way? I don't see the connection.

Even if your "Stupid is as stupid does" argument is true. Do you think it'd be common enough to be a problem? How common?

I've been looking for you my whole life, Tracy. If we stay together, though, I'd lose my €24.99 subscripton refund with Tinder"
