The first time this happened on Tinder I thought the app was probably just buggy when a girl sent a message (saw notification) but there was not text when I opened the chat (i recorded it) and so I told the girl i can't see your message for some reaosn what'd you say and the was like "I said .... etc". Now something similar happened on Hinge too where I sent the chick a "Don't think too hard" follow up and she said she just got the message. I reset all my dating profiles a few times in a short time when I didn't know better so definitely possible I'm shadowbanned-- in fact I once made a new account on my computer and the response rate went up like crazy (until I switched to my phone and it went back to normal). My response rate after a couple exchanges is almost zero despite the initial exchanges being decent (a lot of which is texts I've seen avilench . use) so defintiely no big fuck up that's consistent in all of them. Did anyone else see this? My theory is that dating apps would this on purpose to get you to think you need boosts and extra likes which would be so fucked up. For reference I used to get pretty good results on Tinder two years ago. I know dating apps have gotten more competitive since then but to the exten t of a lot of results to almost none? Extra contesxt: I had waited over 3 months after deleting my Tinder hoping my info would be gone but nothing was fixed. I also decided to use a model's pics from instagram to see if all of a sudden I'd start getting a bunch of likes and matches but my qeue went from 25 to 32 likes even after over a week of using the model's picture (he shares his tinder results on youtube and gets crazy numbers of likes)
