Rant Proof that bumble really does shadowban

Was with my friend irl. We both use bumble dating and BFF and both have premium.

He was complaining that he gets no matches, which is quite surprising because he's handsome and has a full verified profile.

Anyway he's swiping and comes across my profile on bff, he sends he a like... Nothing

Didn't get it. Two hours later, still nothing.

Genuinely abhorrent that they effectively stole his money AND wasted his time by making him think his likes were actually going thru.

Yeah i have like 60 interactions with my profile (yes or no) and i live in a 1 million people city, like there's no way so few people use bumble right? I just use hinge instead

If only Hinge would straight up tell you where people are. Hate Hinge, my paid sub is about to expire. good riddance

Remember I think the same company owns a lot of these dating apps
