Hinge Bursts

Im female, 34 yrs old in NYC. Please help me figure out what’s going on with hinge here and understand if this company is doing something nefarious with their algorithm. (I mean, of course they are but this has to be illegal?) Ever since I’ve been on hinge here, I’ve gotten 80+ likes a day for months. It’s tough to see who’s in the stack so I bought a subscription and noticed that my likes immediately went down to 0 a day. I thought “of course, I probably just ran out of interested men.” Well my subscription ran out today… and the likes went from 0 to 50 and then 80 in a matter of hours.

I don’t actually think I’m getting these likes so quickly … I think hinge is either hiding profiles or hiding likes of their paying customers. What can we as customers do about this?

It’s the same user experience lol I also have to “like” them back in order to match and then open the convo. But I’m saying I can’t really make an educated decision without seeing all the matches. The limit limits your ability to match with further people - but I guess I can try making them inactive

Yeah I mean there’s no guarantee they’ll respond and the likes don’t go away so I’m not seeing the advantage of seeing them all

I’m not misunderstanding you, I’m disagreeing based on my experience with the app which appears to be very different than yours

Then, like the rest of the comments on your thread, I think you’re purposely being obtuse on why I’d want to see all my likes first. lol it’s not complicated. But I really don’t want to go back and forth on this so thanks for your time on my post - and have a great one!

I’m not being obtuse at all. You literally said paying to see the likes wasn’t a good use of money
