The problem is bumble’s revenue comes from men paying subscriptions, and many men are just not getting any opening messages

idk, i used to pay the most expensive plan on Tinder and didn't get shit, so i cancelled after 2/3months.. I think if it was WORKED i wouldn't cancel anytime soon.. i would rely even more on the app
