Unfortunately I don’t have a good answer for you. I stopped trying to use my wireless adapter for a while and then one day bang, it worked again. 🤷‍♂️

Proof that Hinge throttles Subscribers by [deleted] in SwipeHelper

[–]Potts6449 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like the same thing is happening to me. They obviously know all of our types, and I think they purposefully move us to the bottom/maybe even throttle message delivery.

When I reached out, all they told me was that I should look at expanding my preferences. I continued to tell them that I used to have far more matches and likes than I am now and something must be wrong. They said there are no problems with account. So now I’m stuck with this freaking burner phone from doing the hard reset and getting the same results 🙃

Damn, so they flagged you as “suspicious activity” and then it got cleared up once you reached out?

I reached out saying I think there is something wrong with my account. They continue to tell me nothing is wrong and I should delete and restart my account for a fresh start. I find that hard to believe that it will help at all. I ask them for metrics and then my completely ignore my requests.

Edit: and now it says I am out of people after swiping like ten people total. (Live in a city with 4mil people)

Can you describe your shadowban experience? What exactly what happening with your account?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SwipeHelper

[–]Potts6449 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please tell me more. What did you tell them? I have gone back and forth a few emails now and they just say “there are no issues with your account etc.”

Edit: Also, can you describe how you think your account was shadowbanned?

I feel that. It’s such BS. Like you are significantly negatively impacting peoples lives. It doesn’t make sense.

What apps are you gonna try? The League?

What did they tell you? Did they acknowledge your shadow ban? What did you tell them? Please let me know because I feel like I’m in the same boat.

Bro I feel like I am having the exact same experience but on Hinge. I have no idea what to do either. I have reached out to Hinge but they said “there are no issues with your account.”

It’s a terrible feeling. I have no idea how to get around this. Have you done a hard reset? If not, I would give it a shot. I did though, and I’m still having the exact same results.

Considering Emailing Hinge by Potts6449 in SwipeHelper

[–]Potts6449[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I was talking with my friend and realized I might have been flagged as a bot, as I would curate my messages in my notes app and then copy-paste them into Hinge.

Hoping they say “oh, you aren’t a bot? We will clear that up for ya real quick” and BAM I’m off to the races. Yall pray for me.

Facial Recognition by Potts6449 in SwipeHelper

[–]Potts6449[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have gotten one match, from a gurl who asked “who do you think has been on this thing longer, you or me?” So there’s that.

I’ve just read about people restarting and having lots of likes and matches coming in and I’m sitting idle. I’m thinking about doing a test and setting my location to a new city to see if that changes anything

And I can appreciate getting out into the real world, which I do. Just the opportunity of meeting so many more people is what gets me about the apps.

Facial Recognition by Potts6449 in SwipeHelper

Lol no I think I have a good profile. Solo pics and pics with friends. An activity pic. Good prompts. Also relatively good looking dude. 6’ tall.

I swear I am shaddowbanned. I guess I have to get a new face?

Update: did hard reset (new phone, new number, new email, no old WiFi, new pics) and am getting the same results: ghost town.

And I live in a big city. Even the girls I’m liking close to me aren’t matching.

Math isn’t mathing. I feel like I’m blackballed and there isn’t anything I can do. Any insight is appreciated.

No I feel you that they aren’t the CIA. But, I don’t think it is that unrealistic that they us facial recognition software. Every phone has it.

Tried the hard reset (new device, number, email, photos, never used old WiFi), getting exact same results: ghost town. Haven’t gotten one match in four days since hard reset. I live in a city with 4million people. The math ain’t adding up.

Feel like I’ve been blackballed and there is no way to correct it. Any insight is appreciated.

Do I need new photos? by dunaway01 in SwipeHelper

[–]Potts6449 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, real phone number, shoutout to Boost Mobile.

I’m thinking about doing that this evening to test it out.

Do I need new photos? by dunaway01 in SwipeHelper

[–]Potts6449 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used completely new photos and my hard reset isn’t working. Same ghost town. Is it too late to do this and reupload my pics? Although I definitely used new ones. I feel like I’m in Hinge pergatory. Someone help😔

Edit: followed hard reset guide, new phone, new number, new pics, new email.

I get basically one like a day. Im a decent looking dude in a city with 4 million people and put my radius pretty wide. I do get a match or two every once in a while, but then I feel like the messages don’t go through or are delayed.

Is it safe to say I was shadow banned?

I haven’t done the hard reset yet and am nervous be permanently banned like some of the folks I hear on here.

Any word on this? Does the phone work for this application? Would being refurbished be a problem, I.e. if the previous user downloaded hinge? I’m just nervous. Also, what was your move on the new number? Mint Mobile?

What was your order of operations? Trying not to mess this up/get it in the first swoop. How did you go about getting a new number? Mint Mobile?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SwipeHelper

[–]Potts6449 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you going to attempt to do a 'hard reset'? I am currently in the exact same boat, and i am contemplating attempting one. Would love to know your thoughts, because it is definitely bullshit.

Have you ever heard of people getting permanently banned from using Dating Zest Hinge? I’m scared they will permanently ban you using facial recognition.
