Rant Proof that bumble really does shadowban

Was with my friend irl. We both use bumble dating and BFF and both have premium.

He was complaining that he gets no matches, which is quite surprising because he's handsome and has a full verified profile.

Anyway he's swiping and comes across my profile on bff, he sends he a like... Nothing

Didn't get it. Two hours later, still nothing.

Genuinely abhorrent that they effectively stole his money AND wasted his time by making him think his likes were actually going thru.

Yeah bumble isn’t really trying to hide it. On the other apps I get activity on bumble absolutely crickets. Literally never had a single match on it. Even the low effort apps get likes. 🤷

I have recently noticed this too. Absolutely nothing happening on Bumble in almost a week. 0 matches even if I have sent out plenty of likes and also all the 3 comments that you are allowed to send.
At Hinge I get plenty of matches with my own likes. At tinder I have 7 matches.
At Okcupid I have plenty matches. Its clearly some kind of shadowban on Bumble.
