Well for one, it's a solution to the chicken-and-egg problem that dating sites face when starting out. And I guess even with traction, you want people to feel like they are in "a crowded room", even if a bunch of the profiles don't respond back or flake.
- draugadrotten 13y agoAll dating sites do this. If you know of a single dating site that did not "seed" with model photos when it was started, I would be interested to know about it. badoo is another scam site with 80% fake model photos - it's obvious the online dating scene is big money and very poor ethics I'd like to see google dating - with a "don't be evil" motto
- twister 13y agoPlentyofFish didn't and it's still the second largest after Match.com. A lot of the smaller niche dating sites you'll find started from a related website or network. Facebook, although not a dating website, afaik never created fake profiles.
- jasonlotito 13y ago> All dating sites do this. That's not true at all. I know this for a fact. I > badoo is another scam site with 80% fake model photos - it's obvious I don't know the badoo guys personally, but I'm pretty sure they are working just as hard combatting fake model photos. It's not an easy solution, as you can't just say "Oh, look, let's ban everyone with this photo" because they will change photos constantly.
