Posting this because I keep seeing mixed answers: Is there a free dating app without payment that allows unlimited swipes?

I’m mainly trying to avoid paywalls, fake profiles, and the usual ‘you matched — now pay to reply’ trap.

I’ve learned the hard way that ‘free’ can mean a lot of ads, spam, or the same profiles recycled across sites.
