TOPIC: Tinder Shadow ban

So I've fucking finally gotten new pics for my tinder and was super excited to start swiping again. Got decent amount of matches in the first 3 days. Around 25. One week later, I get shit, nothing. Even when using boost

I'm certain I'm Shadow banned and from what I understand there nothing I can do. Creating a new account wont work since I use the same telephone number

What the actual fuck do I have to do to get some pussy???

Anyone know how I can fix this? Do I need I new number, cellphone, ip address, social security number?

Don't worry man you are not alone. I am gonna make a huge article on this topic eventually.

First thing.

You probably are not shadow banned. You got matches during the first few days because of the 'N00B' boost which I believe tinder introduced around 2017 (when tons of people noticed a massive tanking of matches, The Bastard included). So you get matches for 2-3 days or less. Then your ranking tanks and you aren't shown to many girls. This is a deliberately marketing technique by Tinder to get men to invest in BOOSTs to increase revenues. If you were a businessman you would do the same thing. Other factors are involved of course. Everytime a hot girl swipes right on you, UP goes your ranking. And then who you swipe right on influences this ranking also. This is why boosts may or may not get you a lot of matches (aside from the time of week you decide to boost - prime time vs. bad time). There is also the element of randomness to contend with.

Second thing. If you really WERE shadow banned.

But tinder can track a LOT of shit about you now. They may even have facial recognition at this point.

Its hard to know if you have been shadow banned but there are ways to know. Like if you set your location to South-East Asia and get no matches or if you do, then no-one responds. Having gold or buying boosts won't help either. It used to be you would be told you were banned. No more. Tinder has no problem making money off men while not letting you use what you paid for. They are cunts.

New SIM card. New IP address. New phone. Try and make sure none of your photos include old ones. Basically every possible variable you can control. If you don't have a new phone at hand try the desk top version (it will remember be able to recognise your computer if you make yet another account though).

If you are certain you got shadow banned then do all of these things and report back.

I hear you man, of course I could be wrong but I noticed that after the first 3 days I used a boost and got decent matches, quantity and quality. But my third and fourth boosts gave me nothing but 2 likes per boost even though they were prime time ( tinder alerted me themselves) and all of them were unattractive girls from 10k miles away

Not one of my matches responded anymore so I contacted support and asked for my money back for my 6 month subscription to gold which they gave me and revoked my gold status on tinder

BUT I still hade one boost left, used it today (Tuesday) at 5pm and voila 7 new matches in my area

Don't know what happened since in their response they claim to not know what shadowbanning is but at least I got some of my money back. I'll continue using it free, trying to get me elo up if possible and if nothing works I'll try a new account like you said

During corona time matches will be lower. I think that may be the issue more so your end. I mean if you match you can't really meet up if there are fines for leaving or everything is closed. So i think for the time being we are in limbo

I thought ELO score was removed? My results have gone way down too, even more than the week before, and I'm not sure its all Corona -chan.

It's super easy to create a new gmail and get a phone number on google voice. I used that one on desktop and kept using the same one on my phone. The new one got the noob boost glasgow mentioned for a few days and then they did about the same.

Also, I used the same photos and tinder didn't seem to care.

Most importantly, switch to hinge. Tinder is dying.

I dont think tinder is dead quite yet

I'm still able to get more girls off there than hinge

I think tinder is like face book the first big one but now it's not "in" but the majority of people use it. Tinder has positive and negative feelings whereas hinge is new so there's no real opinion next and you can lie to yourself and pretend it's for a relationship. Hinge is new and hip but does not have an insane amount of users yet.

So hinge would be insta

Yea Tinder is shit but not much traffic on other dating apps here in Sweden, atleast not for casual dating. Especially hinge I've found people are very serious, everyone's looking for their hubby

Jacob - Your prob right, felt like my hard earned cash was being thrown away right now

Try every possible app you can make an account on. Badoo, scout, coffeemeetsbagel (and a bunch of others I never even heard of^^)

Happn seemed pretty good in norway, so it might be good in sweden too.
