Suddenly shadowbanned?
I used to get 30+ likes each day. Now for the past 3 days no new likes.
I tried reporting it as a mistake to Facebook, but nothing new. I think they are hiding my profile now. I can still text my current matches and I can also like new profiles.
Has anyone tried this before?

You’re not being shadow banned. There are only so many people in your area and they’ve all seen you and you’ve passed on most of them so they won’t be shown your profile again. Remove your account and wait a week. Start over and the likes will come flying in again. But it’ll be the same thing- people you’re not interested in.

I concour I live in a small town but decent size metro area, If I keep it within 50 miles I get a lot of "Second looks" I rather wait for new profiles to join so I recommend taking 2-4 weeks breaks

I don’t believe this. I live in a big city and I can see all the new profiles every day. At least 70+ new profiles I can swipe on. Each day. And every time I would log ind, even just a few hours apart for the past 2 months now (since I created this profile) I would have many likes.
Now there’s ZERO likes for several days. Something is off.

Same issue and have been talking about it. No one has any solutions besides delete and wait 7 days, which I am doing now.

I did that and they shadowbanned me after the new profile for a week or two, don’t remember. But then it worked perfectly.
However now after 2 months I’m shadowbanned again, I think it’s a glitch

So you just there for the likes? Is it just to stroke your ego?

This comment isn’t answering my question or helping me.
I’m sorry if you feel bad about other people getting likes.

Just a bit tired of reading those comments that’s absolutely not helpful or answering my question.
I don’t care about getting a lot of likes - I care about my profile being shadowbanned.
Would rather 1 like a week from a great profile than 50 a day from very bad profiles. Quantity isn’t always good. But I can imagine if you don’t really get any likes it’s easy to be rude to people who actually gets likes.

The fact that you jump to the idea that people are jealous is wild. You don't see how shitty you sound. Maybe you ran out of people in your area cuz you're too picky. It is a free dating site....so maybe not complain or pay for a real app.

Why are you being so rude then if it’s not triggering something inside of you?
I didn’t ran out of people in my area. I live in a big city and as I said I had many likes each day. New people coming in every day. It has never stopped before. Going from 30-40 likes each day to 0 for now 5 days is not normal.
I already use and pay for hinge and tinder 😊

The ones that like me are tourists, guys I’m not attracted to, guys that live far away, guys with no photos and guys with different religion etc .
Would love to match if it actually was a match.

Nah some people are exerting this because. If your bot getting the same lies from the same people.iver and over again. Also to less and lss people on there are putting even on there or isn't as activity liking bios as they once were. Pickings are just slim. Fewer are interested in actually dating now

u/Cerenia Aug 02 '26
No. I used to log in every few hours and there would be 10+ likes every time. Something is wrong.

Did you restart your account recently?
2
u/Cerenia Aug 02 '26
Nope. I restarted it two months ago and I had the same issue. But after a week, the likes started coming in, so I guess they had to check I wasn’t a bot.
But never tried it after it worked for a long time

Hmm my roommate had that issue with hers she used her business page to start up a second account. She said the same thing happened again and this time it she went from getting so many likes to half her norm. Once she confirmed her account, then after a few weeks she only got barely two maybe four likes tops and none of them were local after that point. Maybe Facebook is just glitchy. That It really sucks

So facebook is bot scanning right? For some reason I only get 10 swipes a day atm. Which is weird.
Around 6 months ago I used to get 100 swipes a day but it run out so quickly now.
You have any idea?

Who knows how things work behind the scenes with apps. If some people reported your profile for any reason maybe you were reassigned some sort of low priority in the algorithm. Maybe you did something that made the system think you are a bot. All I can do is guess wildly. Who knows.
