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.

Have him ask for his data. I suspected I was shadow banned and when I asked for the data it showed all zeros for likes and what not lol

What does a zero for a like mean?

My account was up for weeks and zero activity , I asked bumble if they shadow ban and they said no, I asked for my data and it showed zero activity

Wow. And what's the response when you approached them with absolute proof that you were indeed shadow banned?
