AZ:
If society dictates shadchanim must be compensated (not flowers, chocolate, gifts, etc., but real money) for shidduchim that are legitimate suggestions. Please answer this question honestly:
Will this new phenomenon cause more shidduchim to progress past the “serious-level” threshold (If I’m forced by society and am paying anyway, might as well go through with it) OR will it cause potentially viable shidduchim to fall apart by being prematurely called off by boy/girl because it’s not worth the fee?
