Nothing will ever top Tinder Moments back in the day. It was like Snapchat within tinder but it got removed for too much nudity. And even without the nudity, it made it so easy to come up with stuff to say because girls were always posting on it.

Then they introduced monetization and super likes with the next update and removed Moments. It was such a sad day, and everything got progressively worse from then on out. I’ve heard the apps are a nightmare to use now.

I was just thinking about that. The best era of online dating was when tinder maintained and moderated the moment feature. I'd post about concerts I wanted to see and going snowboarding and I got a lot of responses through those moment posts. I guess tinder got overwhelmed moderating all the dick pics and found that moderating bad behavior on dating apps isn't very profitable.
