I said this in another comment, but IMO, the reason people don't take anything seriously isn't because of the number of matches/potential matches. Rather, I think it's the resolution of information that a profile shows. A few pictures and some text is wildly low-resolution compared to even just an audio recording or video. I think requiring people to include one of the two (ideally a video) would be solve this problem once and for all and make dating apps infinitely better.
- nsomani 5y agoI think it's been tried too many times before. IMO too much friction to make a video when I already have tons of photos from the last year. It reduces to who can do the best videography which is a less level playing field than photos. I also swipe when I'm in public which isn't possible if there's an audio component
