The app should create a fake account listed as a woman, but with a picture of a man and the text: Fake Account
Ban anyone who swipes right on it.
Or limit the amount of right swipes allowed per day.
- mises 7y agoPossible, but you'll end up in the same arms race you get with cheaters and on-line games. I.e. I could probably sniff the requests and responses coming off a phone and throw together a python script which would automatically "swipe right". They add a fake account, so I now parse for "Fake Account". It seems as though the model of having women initiate conversation makes more sense anyway, from what else I've read in this thread.
- Lewton 7y agoWhy go through all that trouble when you would get the exact same effect from banning people who swipe right on everyone
- thrower123 7y agoThe reality is that they don't care at all. It's not in any way aligned with their incentives. It's been a while since I've used Tinder, but they were rate-limiting swipes - unless you paid up for premium features.
- thirdsun 7y agoIt's my understanding that swiping right on everyone already results in a penalty on Tinder and lowers your chances of actually being presented to your potential matches - you're simply moved to the back of the queue. However, of course I can't be sure about that.
