Recently, Beck received many ads from Tinder about premium service. Beck has never paid for a dating app. He thinks paying £14.59 a month is an unreasonable price. “I just turned 28. Sometimes I wonder if I’m being charged more than young people. If you’re single at 28, do the tech giants know that many people are so scared that they might pay any price to get a date?”, Beck told The Guardian . Dating apps, make friends quite popular with young people in recent years. Photo: Ties. Beck conducted a survey with friends, relatives, and community groups and asked them to submit screenshots of the prices they pay for using dating apps. In the group of respondents who responded, there was a clear difference. Those over 30 will be charged £27.49-29.49/month, while the rest of the users only have to pay £13.99-14.49. Tinder isn’t the only dating app with paid services. Many other platforms also launch similar features besides the free version to expand the scope of searching for love for users. For example, Bumble asks members to pay £14.99/month for Bumble Boost to give them access to unlimited “swipe” (showing interest in someone) mode. With the Bumble Premium plan (£32.99/month), users can see who has liked them. This functionality is similar on the premium service of Coffee Meets Bagel (£34/month). In addition, they will also receive a large amount of information about other people such as recent activity history. Pay to find love Sophie Thomas, a dating and love expert, says everyone should buy an upgraded feature. “You can absolutely meet your ideal person by using free services. However, if you’re really serious about the big milestone in your life, it’s also a good thing to invest in dating,” says Thomas. According to Thomas, paying a fee helps users get better search engines, which can save time and effort. “Getting to know someone takes a long time, so you shouldn’t be in a hurry to make friends with a stranger. Once you’re happy with an app, buy a long-term subscription to access dating opportunities until you find the right one,” she added. James Preece, podcast host Love Machine , agree with this statement. However, he argues that it’s not simply paying more to get better results. If the profile, photos, and messages are bad, the person will still get the desired results. “If the record is good, unlocking extras can boost your chances. Some of the premium functions like on Bumble allow you to use more filters when searching. That can help you get quality ‘matches’,” Preece said.

Kate Mansfield (from London, UK), relationship expert, is among the naysayers. According to her, people who are confident, love themselves, know what they want, will not waste money on matchmaking services or an upgrade of a dating app. They can take advantage of free platforms and find their ideal lover. “You think paying for a premium service is the right thing to do, but you’re wrong. Because you will waste it being in a group of people who are struggling with love and dating,” Mansfield asserts. Instead of using a paid app, Mansfield advises: “Invest in yourself more like attending training courses, therapy to help us be in the best position. Then use the free versions of Tinder, Hinge or Bumble to find love.”

Such an “opportunity” makes parents anxious again. If you don’t pay, I’m worried that I missed such a great opportunity to get a certificate and extra points. If I pay, I’m worried that this is a money trap. There is no need to worry about such a thing, as long as there is one criterion: a essay contest that can be awarded with money must be a scam. In the face of the staff of the training institutions who have exhausted their skills, knowledgeable parents may wish to ask, “I have won awards for my essays. Why don’t I have to give you money?”

The formal “Ye Shengtao Cup” National New Composition Competition for Middle School Students is a competition reviewed and approved by the Ministry of Education. Award-winning high school students have the opportunity to be admitted by the university, which has a high gold content.and The Shanzhai “Ye Sheng Tao Cup”, which can be bought for prizes, is of no use other than satisfying a little vanity. Before deciding to participate in such a composition contest, parents should keep their eyes open and learn to distinguish, and don’t spend wronged money. The “leeks” that are regarded as ignorant are harvested again.

If Ye Shengtao knows the underground, he will probably be so angry that the coffin board will be overwhelmed by the copycat version of the composition contest named after him. Turning the composition contest into a money transaction is the biggest disrespect for Mr. Ye Shengtao, Mr. Ye’s descendants. As well as related institutions, it should be severely investigated and punished resolutely to defend the reputation of this famous writer and educator.

In December 2019, the official “Ye Sheng Tao Cup” took the copycat version of the “Ye Sheng Tao Cup” host company to the court, and the defendant was asked to immediately stop using the name that is only one word away from the official game. It is very funny that after the infringing party changed the participant from “national elementary and middle school students” to “Chinese teenagers”, the competition was held again. Although the one-word difference has become the five-character difference, the core keyword “Ye Shengtao Cup” is impressive. Strictly speaking, this is a contempt for the original composition contest organizer and the court’s decision.

According to parents’ feedback, the copycat version of “Ye Shengtao Cup” still made some risk aversion actions. For example, a series of seemingly rigorous selection rules were conducted on the official website. Apart from emphasizing and implying its “advantages”, there is no “guarantee”. However, on the contest essay page circulated on the Internet, it can be clearly seen that it has authorized some training institutions as “provincial event hosting rights planning rights and other rights authorized by the organizing committee”, which indicates that, The “black box operation” of this copycat essay competition was planned and systematic from the beginning. Professional lawyers believe that such an approach “may constitute fraud for parents and students.”

However, it is such a fake competition that has the possibility of “fraud”, and it has been conducted 31 times. Among them, it is unknown how many parents have paid. If it is useless to buy such an award, then the parents’ money will be lost. If buying such an award is useful, it means that the organizer has penetrated into the relevant educational institutions and has formed an invisible infringement on the normal educational body. Whether it is useless or useful, such copycat competitions and spending money on awards should no longer have room for survival.

For the copycat essay competition, it is impossible for parents to be able to identify them one by one and resolutely ignore them. In many cases, parents are easily deceived by rhetoric, and the parent group does not have enough recognition ability to identify which essay competition is formal or informal. The reason why the copycat composition contest cannot be removed like dog skin plaster is because the punishment is too light to form a deterrent effect; the second is that it is not taken seriously, thinking that this kind of thing is not harmful. It is recommended that relevant departments be deeply involved in the investigation, If an award sells for tens of thousands of yuan, it might as well determine whether the company’s income is legal or not. If it is suspected of fraud to a certain amount, it might as well be severely punished in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, so as not to let them continue to pollute education.
