In this article, we propose to explore the way in which dating websites and applications have transformed the dating experience based on experiments conducted on the Tinder app with students from the Université de Paris 8. Our experiment included creating fake profiles, which showed that Tinder proposes different subscription prices according to the user’s age and device. Our collective analysis of Tinder’s architext shows how the application guides criteria for selecting partners and makes negative interactions invisible: mutual freedom takes precedence over responsibility toward others.
