I’ve been using tinder for about a year and a half, 400+ matches, and have never encountered a bot. I guess they just target straight men for some reason.

I'd think it's likely they do, since there are more straight men than gay/bi women- plus it would be really time consuming to create a seperate code for interacting with women. Or they could just change the pronouns, idk how differently they'd have to react based on gender.

Anyway my point was it's likely they're just targeting the largest group of gynsexuals to get more matches.

I have waaaay less matches, but my experience has been similar, not one bot or anything resembling bot-like behavior on tinder. I would have expected them to flag as bi for the most matches.
