You know the algorithm shows you to fewer people if you swipe right on everyone

[–] jet@hackertalks.com 1 points 3 months ago

Yeah for these algorithms you want to show better signals. Choose a sex/age range your not interested in and just swipe left while watching a movie.

Your algorithmic pickiness will improve tremendously.

[–] Ledivin@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

But they swipe left on a whole... 3.5% of people! Super picky, that's probably why

Have you tried being born wealthy? :-D

The main problem here: commercial dating apps are not intended to help people find partners or flings. They are intended to make the companies money. Some may initially be functional but enshitification hits them fast, once they have a userbase established.

I believe the algorithms on those apps purposefully hold back the best matches for you unless you pay for a subscription.

Seriously, how do you even get the data to make such graphs?

On another note, I don't have much sympathy for people who clearly "swipe right on everyone". I am aware that it's a numbers game, but have since standards, man.

Bro he got 14 matches in four years, how can he afford to have standards. If he has any more standards, he will get ZERO matches

Also you can request this data from tinder and bumble support

[–] MindTraveller@lemmy.ca -1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You won't get any matches if you don't tell the algorithm what kind of person you're interested in. It won't be able to put you with people you're compatible with.

I find that this isn’t actually a successful way to filter or get the “algorithm” to recognize people you might be interested in. Those features are built in, but you need the premium versions of the apps to do the filtering.

I hopped onto Bumble after a few years and nearly every one I get doesn’t match my values or how I swipe. I thought it might work like that, but I get Christian Conservative more than any other demo and my profiles and swipes do not match that type.

These apps are not interested in finding you a good partner, they are solely interested in you continuing to use the app
