#2Not just straight men. Gay men too. I complained to Apple about this and they didn’t care.
On iOS at least you can get around this. Create a profile aged 18 and purchase a subscription. Now sign out and create your real profile and use the “restore purchases” option.

#3Single, old men are charged more in swinger clubs. Maybe that's where Tinder got the idea.

#4Wow they seem really hell-bent on implementing this given they lost/settled a suit in California for it, and now have been "found out" in Aus, too.

#5They've always done this, no?

#6> It found that queer females aged under 30 were charged the least, at just $6.99 per month, while city-based straight men over 50 were charged the most, at $34.37 a month.
Any Australians care to comment on the use of queer?
It's pretty derogatory in the UK (in the context of sexual orientation)

#7They should be more transparent about their pricing, but it seems to me like they offer different demographics fundementaly different services so charging different amounts isn't unreasonable.

> fundementaly different services
Like what?I went through tinders sales page for their tiers and can't see anything that would offer a different experience based on any demographic: https://www.help.tinder.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004487406-T...
I get the feeling you may respond telling me that people over 30 are looking for a different type of relationship, to which I say that no type of relationship has a feasible monetary induction price, and even if it did, it is impossible to know which users are looking to have a fling and which are looking for an SO.

I never used Tinder myself but based on what I’ve come across on Reddit, if your profile is “premium” you can just hide your age? I guess that could mess up your target matches but you can presumably still set your own age range filter.

I'm in New Zealand and queer is used by the gay community as a positive/less specific term here.
