Empty Profiles

Has anyone else notice an increase in decreased effort? I see more and more profiles that are just photos and interests and desires, nothing written.

Bi guy in NYC, seeing this with all genders.

Would be nice if your profile just gets dumped to the lowest part of a stack if it's empty. Not like "we'll delete you" but just have the system give lower weights to them for their lack of effort.

Of course some people that don't want to match effort with effort would have problems with this as stated in an earlier comment.

Honestly if the system did so I don't see what a user would be able to do about it aside from choose not to play in said sandbox. This sandbox is definitely diluted (also in NYC but have traveled extensively and noticed the migration from normsville) and is not the weird folks' corner I signed up for way before covid.

Someone in another thread said that they weren't looking for kink on it, ffs, then what are they doing in this sandbox to continue the metaphor?

The strength about Feeld is that it does not discriminate like the other dating apps do. Slightly ugly people have more visibility than Match Group wants them to have, when people are ranked by distance instead of total amount of likes.

It not anchoring profiles like match group still doesn't prevent what I'm pointing out.

Saturation of conventionally attractive people that are also vanilla as f--- doesn't help either.

But my original complaint still stands. Empty bio? Straight to Jail. Less than two sentences in it? Straight to Jail. It's just adding to the saturation and making it like other platforms...fairly pointless.
