From my understanding, Tinder and OKCupid are free, which is why they tend to be overrun with douches looking to hook up with anything with a pulse. The "tinder fail" and "ok cupid fail" websites have some hilarious examples.
In my community, Tinder is mostly a hookup (or casual 2-3 dates prior to hooking up kind of thing) site. None of my friends that I know of have found long term relationships off it.
Match and eharmony and others require a subscription, which at least filters out a little bit of the riffraff.
Match and eharmony probably filter some of the freaks and losers but they concurrently filter those of us who aren't just quite hard up enough to fathom paying for a dating site - which makes the pool of options still less than desirable.
