A dating-coach video (by Anwar White) advising viewers—especially Black and brown women—to avoid Hinge. The host argues Hinge’s algorithm hides people you like behind a paywall and thus is unfair, and she recommends boycotting it; the chunk includes short transcripted example profiles the host encountered while using Hinge as a 40‑year‑old Black woman to test the apps.

Hey girl. If you're single and you are on the apps, I want to let you know that the top dating app that you need to avoid is Hinge. Hinge is unhinged. Literally what they are doing is they are looking at your algorithm, seeing what people you actually really like, what profiles you like, and then putting them behind a paywall. I think this goes against everything that I stand for as a dating coach and I want you all to boycott it, especially if you are a black or brown woman or a woman of color. Hinge is not for you. So what I do as your top and favorite dating coach is I have a profile on each one of these apps just to see what the guys are giving because I'm in the shoes with my clients. So I want to share with you some of the actual profiles that I, as a 40 year old black woman have had to experience on Hinge. Fish tacos.
I hope that you're having a G day. G stands for good. Why should you date me?
I love to please my partner in every way possible.
Hi, my name is Buck and you know what I like to do?
Just be you.
I won't try to change you because that's not my job. If you want to change, you change.
I will accept you just the way you are now.
Most of my clients are getting their guys from Bumble or OkCupid. So that is my recommendation as a top dating coach. I hope this helps. Stay away from Hinge.
