#3Just call credit card center for a refund and get a burner number…not a big deal.
Regarding banks: get some Bitcoin just in case, as it can be much worse when banks ban you.

A typical complaint would be if he had done something wrong, but he send 0 messages, got no likes - so what could he have done wrong?
I had similar experiences with Tinder - I think their support team just bans people when they don't want to deal with them - without checking the account at all.

Yeah all the insight in this article comes down to the sentence "The big tech does not mind having a few false positives." the next paragraph about people trying to please the algorithm is such drivel since companies rarely mention what their algorithms look for and people rarely go out of their way to please an algorithm (unless they have some level of insight into the algorithm and it affects their income, generally).

Other bars don’t have Swipe Night
I jest but has anyone used Tinder recently? They have interactive choose your own adventure movies now, and then match you with people that made similar choices, instant ice breaker! But actually a decently fun episodic game with moderately high production value.
I’m surprised because Tinder was like the worst of all the mobile-first dating apps from my recollection.

#10I know "don't use social networks made by evil megacorps that make money by trampling all over your privacy and making you addicted" is the kind of advice everyone sagely nods at but no one heeds. But it especially applies to dating apps. Like the proverbial sausages, once you know what goes on under the hood you won't ever feel like touching one of them with a ten foot pole.
