Totally anecdotal, but I met my current partner not long after subscribing to the paid tier of Tinder. Those super likes came in handy. This was like 5 years ago though not sure how different it is now. I have to imagine it’s worse just like everything else.
5 years ago was the beginning/middle of the descent. It's so much worse now. ... plenty of fish is a streaming platform now. 🤮 🔫
I'm so unbelievably undesirable I've been on the apps long enough to watch the whole thing play out. Over the course of 10 years these apps have been absolutely tripping over themselves to become a shitty tinder 2.0 clone. All the offices now have "Always Enshittify" plastered on their walls as their daily affirmations since they were almost all bought by Match Group.

I'm not trying to speak negatively against your lived experience. But personally... I just can't imagine starting a serious life-long relationship because I bought twitter blue checkmarks and that impressed the lady. At least that's what it sounds like the "super likes" are. That shit sounds dystopian.
Super likes just alert the other person you swiped right without requiring a “match.” I still had to do all the talking, agree to a date, etc. When there’s like a 10 to 1 ratio of men to women on these apps, it just helps you stand out amongst the noise.
