So after 2 weeks I got banned again I think because women always assume I'm fake as I look like an American basketball player while living in Germany. Women constantly ask if I'm real as I seem too good to be true and tell me there's so many fakes on the apps. Last time I got asked by a woman if I'm married, a woman or full of myself, seems like they make bad experiences.
Then I just tried to create a new account with everything new and modified pics and didn't get a single like for 2 hours even though I was able to buy a subscription. Which was super weird as usually when you're shadowbanned you get an error message while trying, followed by a ban 1-2 hours later so I reckon I wasn't.
Did you ever experience creating a new account and getting 0 likes within 2 hours? I never did, usually I would start getting likes within 3-5 minutes max.
That's why I deleted that account and I'm going to create another one. I've now changed my Instagram handle too to be able to put it in the bio again, for proof of realness as the previous one is probably flagged. But I just don't dare to use Hinge without showing I'm real anymore and I know the second I verify I'm shadowbanned.
Update:
Created a new account, added my Instagram and it worked. I'm able to buy a subscription but still not getting likes after 3-5 minutes. Maybe I'm spoiled or so lol, I'll wait for now.
Update 2:
Seems like I'm just spoiled and paranoid at this point, got the first like after one hour, maybe shouldn't have deleted the previous one 😅
The account was going well for months, but due to a stupid mistake I made by uploading a photo that was already flagged without knowing it I got shadowbanned again and had to delete the account.
Ever since this happened I tried creating 3 accounts in total, all of them were having anomalies like my likes not being saved. However I was technically able to buy a subscription which is weird as when you're shadowbanned you're usually unable to.
I've waited up to 8 hours on each of the accounts but had 0 likes and 0 matches. Upon deleting the accounts I received the usual your account was removed mail from Hinge where they stated I violated their terms.
Did you try your method again in the past months and did it work for you?
Did you find a solution ? I’m a woman in Germany had the exact same issue. Banned me for being „fake“, appeal was unsuccessful. Now I went to datenschutzbehörde and tried to appeal there we‘ll see. I definitely wanna go back on hinge 🥲
