the only way to make a dating app that actually worked for its users would be one that you pay a single fee for up-front. Then there’s no incentive to keep people on it forever

But without a continuous revenue stream, there's no good way to grow your revenue forever. Eventually, you'll peak, as the majority of potential users have purchased the app, and then its downhill unless we get another baby boom.

Could that not be a business model for an entrepreneur? Make the app, advertise it as a limited time only thing. Get the entry fee from everyone and at the end it shuts down. Like those pop up shops. With proper advertisement it could work well since it would go against the counter culture of what regular dating apps are. They would have an incentive to properly match everyone as quick and well as they can since the app isn't here forever.
