Keep in mind this is only for the infinitesimal subset of Tinder users that will be paying for the "premium" feature set anyways. Basic Tinder remains free for all ages, as far as I understand.

That said, I agree with the BBC's unnamed expert (who is probably Paul Kedrosky quoted again at the end of the article):

' One expert said the move was "sleazy". '.

Basic Tinder was crippled (swipe limit) in order to convince people to buy the premium version.

How do you know that Tinder Plus doesn't have the same swipe limit?

That is not stated in the Tinder FAQ, in the BBC article or the TechCrunch article.

Thank you, it is interesting that that is not in FAQ

I think Tinder's users are pretty inured to being thought "sleazy."

Also, really, BBC? You grant anonymity to an "expert" to say that Tinder is sleazy? You really couldn't find someone who would go on the record there?
