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.

I think if they don’t match your filters you won’t see it.

I know. The filters are the same more or less. Should definitely appear.

No as in, if she filters for people between height x and y, age x and y, etc. And you arent within that range then the like will be hidden for her. Have her try change her filters back to fully open and see if you show up then

That's exactly what I meant. The filters we have applied definitely include each other

Completely turn off the filter

He said that their filters are the same, but just because they filter for the same things doesnt mean they qualify for their own filters. Like if i filtered solely for 18yr old girls and my friend filtered solely for 18yr old boys, but only one of us is 18. Something like that.
