A big part is that it is now socially unacceptable to ask someone out at what were some of the places most likely to produce couples in the past. For example, it used to be that something like 30-40% of relationships started in the workplace.

And yet, the premium features are overtly aligned against user success! I believe you that these app devs think they are optimizing for user success, but that doesn't change the incentives that frame their work. The greatest utility of a dating app should be that it provides a higher number of opportunities. This feature is explicitly broken by the most popular dating apps. Often, it is put behind a paywall, which ha…
> higher number of opportunities. Limitting search/result is often used to tease users into the subscription. Eg. Tiner allows in free mode only a certain number of swipes. Is it this what you mean?

Yes. The direct result of this is that other users have an arbitrarily limited number of opportunities to be swiped by you. A few users circumventing this limit (by paying to get around the wall) does not significantly raise this number.
Instead, it makes things worse, because a small number of paying users will get an outsized opportunity to swipe your profile! That's only useful if you are categorically attracted to people who pay for Tinder. Otherwise it is counterproductive to everyone involved.
