Looks Like the Ship Has Sailed for Hinge (Any New App?)
As someone who’s been on since 2021, the same pattern emerges with almost every platform (FB is shit, AirBnB is inflated, etc.)
Things are great early on. But after a certain point, the experience starts declining fast as you reach a critical mass of users.
At this stage, I honestly wonder how many profiles are inactive, dead, fake, or heavily throttled in the backend. The ratio probably 10:1 Men:Women, and Match Group will never fully disclose that information.
And they have the balls to keep increasing their premium tiers. What a clown app
Feels like the only real strategy is getting onto newer platforms early, before they become overcrowded and overly optimized.
Anyone found a better app lately?
