 what's good y'all it's your boy Ross back again with another video so uh we gotta talk about this i saw this on my timeline on instagram and i couldn't believe this was a real thing now if you guys don't know there is a popular dating app called tender and uh for the longest time um it was relatively a free app yes you could pay for like extra features you can still get on there if you wanted to swipe left or right on someone that was relatively free for a while when it first came out it was pretty popular a lot of people were on it at one point i was on it back in the day but apparently they've come up with a new uh membership subscription where you have to pay $500 a month to use the app i beg your pardon couldn't believe it didn't want to believe it when i initially saw this uh on instagram and looked it up and this is a real thing a real uh membership that they are trying to implement in the tender and i just my mind can't even fathom paying that much for a dating app so we're gonna check this out this is just insanity this is on uh the shayroom.com it's on multiple websites as well talking about this love for $499 that's what tender is proposing with their new tender select membership this is insanity let's see what the hell is going on here it looks like that little saying love don't cost a thing doesn't apply when it comes to tender the app based dating platform announced a new plan for its users that will cost those interested $499 a month users will have uh access uh users with access will be able to message people they have not matched up with to twice a week a complete swerve away from one of their most known features those using regular tender can only message those who have matched with them wait a minute wait a minute wait a minute so you're telling me the one of the benefits is now if i didn't match with you i can send you a message but before it would have to be a match before you can send a message so you're just bypassing the whole matching part are you serious that that's that's an extra feature that's worth $500 well this person didn't match with you but fuck all that you pay us $500 a month now you'll be able to message that person and it doesn't even mean that person will message you back what are we Jesus bro what is this what is this um the new subscription tier will also allow users to be seen more frequently particularly by people on the most sought after list oh my god bro and tender is also offering a solution to users looking to be more discreet with their pricey search for love the new subscription tier will give users the option to display or hide their select badge on their profile what is i'm so cute so now you'll be put on this little tier list this most sought after list and you'll be able to get seen more so you're basically paying $500 a month to be seen more potentially and if you want to message someone that didn't match with you now you can do that and i think they only said you can do it twice a week huh i'm still trying to figure out the benefits here what what are the benefits here because all you've told me is just miniscule stuff that's not worth $500 a month is it's not what is this let's continue to keep reading because this is this is insanity here's how the tender select works but tender select is exclusive the company has made it invite only per the verge and bloomberg it is reportedly only offering the premium plan to uh less than one percent of the users right now and that's for those most active in the app which is insanity on its own users get invited fill out an application and undergo a five point screening process at a minimum a user's profile must have a verified picture a biography five interests four images and details about what they seek to gain from using tender hypebeast reports that tender selects um users must show relationship intent so if you're if you're there just looking for a quick nut then you gotta put hey i'm just here to bust a quick nut if you're there to find true love and happiness then you gotta put that on there this is crazy um however that application will only be available on a rolling basis perverge tender chief product officer mark van i'm not even gonna try to pronounce that last name spoke about uh the development we know that um there is a sub a subset of highly engaged active um users who prioritize more effective in efficient ways to find connections um my guy said so we engaged in extensive tests and feedback with this audience over the past several months to develop a completely new offering for context the dating app already offers different tiers um with some starting at 2499 the point of tender select is piling on more features across the three plans this new launch comes after tender parent company match group reportedly brought the uh bought the invite only dating app the league on that platform searching for love with uh assistance of human matchmakers versus algorithm cost users about a thousand a week it seems like the match group is trying to tap into the ready to pay market with tender wow so apparently they're modeling this off of some other matchmaking uh app and they're paying like up to a thousand a week yo there's big money in this there's big money in finding lonely desperate individuals there's big money in it clearly and i'm willing to bet they're doing this small rollout but people are gonna pay that five hundred dollars a month now i'm there's also another uh tier that you can subscribe to instead of paying five hundred dollars a month there's an option and i'm gonna put it on the screen where you can pay up to a thousand uh five thousand dollars a year so if you don't want to do five five hundred a month you can pay up to five thousand a year which is just ridiculous i i don't what uh there's no way i talked about this a little bit on instagram but i had to make a video about this because this is this is insanity i was onto it i used the free version when i was doing the online dating stuff i used the free version i would i wasn't about to pay for nothing they had options to pay for stuff i'm not doing all that shit it's not that serious and even so i deleted the app because there's nothing going there for me personally so now people are paying five hundred up to five thousand dollars a year to have little and extra features that honestly not worth that much now you get the option to message people twice a week that didn't match with you that that's what you're telling me that that that that's what that's worth nah bro i'm sorry there's that's that's not enough or to be put on the most sought after list that don't guarantee anything that just means people will see you more what the how's that guarantee you anything it doesn't it it gotta come it gotta come with a lot more incentives i need i there needs to be a contract you know what i'm going on a date want with you know we we're gonna get married and the date needs to be fucking free because i'm gonna have to pay for it so no that should be a part of the membership package the date should be free we go on the date date is paid for i get to choose where we go we'll be the most expensive restaurant doesn't matter paid for because i'm using the tender membership after we go out on that date we need to be able to get a nice hotel room five-star nothing less and we enjoy each other's company get a little close get a little sensual and after that after we perform safe sex after we do that then it needs to be like you know what we're gonna move in together so y'all need to provide us some places where we can move in together get us a house you know that needs to be provided and then after that then you need to go ahead and help us with the wedding so tender needs to provide us a wedding planner so we can get the wedding going and they need to be able to provide a little bit of funds to the wedding and then some funds to the marriage license and then at that point now we live in together you need to provide the funds for when we have a child because having a child is expensive when we go to the hospital like i'm mapping all the next 20 years need to be mapped out by tender the 20 years me spending with this person 20 plus years the rest of my life need to be mapped out by tender if i'm paying this fucking much money y'all need to be mapping out the rest of my love life and it needs to happen ain't no fucking way ain't no fucking way that's crazy comment down below let me know does this sound insane to you am i the only one that thinks this is just wild am i the only one that thinks that they are praying on the lonely individuals out there and i just feel like it's just it's kind of messed up it's it's a good marketing scheme but it's still messed up they're praying on people being so lonely and desperate let me know if i'm the only one that thinks this kind of fucked up because i think this whole thing is just it's it's it's scummy yeah it's gonna make them good money but you're praying off of people's loneliness at this point there's no fucking way let me know how y'all feel about all of this but i appreciate all the love as well you guys shown on channel wrote 250k and i'm still young speedy you two rest in jeopardy world appreciate y'all kicking it with me see y'all on the
