You have to be so high to slide.
The reign of the short king in Tinder? The platform has been accused of superficiality after trying a new function that allows users to select possible coincidences depending on the height.
“This is part of a wider effort to help people connect in a more intention to Tinder,” a representative on the controversial new measurement of the Dating Platform told Mashable.
The new review function, which came to light through Reddit and other platforms, is in the discovery section of the digital romance service and allows users to specify the minimum and maximum heights of their coincidences.
The function will only be available to users who subscribe to Tinder Platinum, a first subscription level that starts from $ 39.99 per month. Along with the new height option, the level also includes prioritized likes, a specific interest filter, a message before it coincides with the function and much more.
In the meantime, regular level users can already customize various search preferences within discovery environments, including age ranges, sexual orientation and distance.
Platform representatives, owned by Match Group, assure users that this height screen is being tested as a payment preference instead of stone filter.
The idea is that payment preferences such as height will allow the user a greater autonomy without completely cutting off certain coincidences, Mashable reported.
“We are always listening to the most important to our Tinder users, and trying the paid height preference is a good example of how we are constructing urgently, clarity and approach,” said Tinder’s spokesman. “Not all tests become a permanent feature, but each test helps us to learn how we can offer smarter and relevant experiences and promote the forward category.
However, this digital garden was not good with many critics on social media, some of whom accused the application of height supremacy.
“Justice for all short kings!” He declared one.
“ Tinder is implementing a height filter and will allow women filtering men below their favorite height, ” a detractor smoked in X. ” It is so hypocritical that men are demonized for preferences, but it’s OK for women, often about the things that men cannot change. Imagine -if Tinder adds a weighty filter. ”
However, some defenders thought that people were making a mountain outside a molehill.
“The great fan of the height filter of the casing for no reason than the men who are annoyed,” said a woman.
Another snatched, “OMG in any way .. Tinder added a height filter? Wow .. We should talk about this for the next 30 days and 30 nights, despite the fact that all other dating applications literally did.”
In fact, Cites Hinge colleagues, another subsidiary of the coincidence group, already have a filter of height in its place for Premium users.
Interestingly, the new dry race is ironically in the midst of the efforts of Tinder’s CEO, Spencer Rascoff, who took care of after Faye Iosotaluno announced his resignation after less than two years at work, to help the platform spill its stigma as a surface connection application in an effort for disappointed zooms.
The Z GEN users have been fleeing the platform in search of dating applications that could lead to more durable relationships.
Among the 500 dating applications users, about 85% said they did not use Tinder for their association with “sticks”, according to a 2023 Wells Fargo survey.
Rascoff, which also wins the entire coincidence group, hopes to reverse this maximum exodus accelerating product changes, using artificial intelligence and improving users’ safety, among other measures.
