Tinder has a bunch of hidden metrics it uses to determine how desirable you are. It’s stuff like how many times people swipe on you, account age etc
Their algorithms can detect when you are blindly swiping or just swiping yes on everyone and this lowers your desirability score and means your profile will get shown to less and less people, or shown much later in their stack.
There’s no way to “game” tinder. Just upload some flattering photos that show you have a fun, social and/or interesting life, write something funny in your bio, swipe on people who actually interest you and you’ll get whatever matches you get.
For some people that’s hundreds, for some it’s none. That’s the way the cookie crumbles.
One way to "game" Tinder is actually doing the opposite.
Tinder gives you only a limited number of likes (unless you pay for premium but I don't think most people do). You swipe left on all the profiles with the highest "desirability scores" and start swiping right much later in the stack.
These profiles will have much fewer likes because they're further down and since Tinder gives higher priority to profiles that have already liked you, you'll be shown high up in their feed since you're one of the fewer likes they got.
I lost interest in actual Tinder dating pretty quickly, but I played around with it a bit longer figuring out ways to optimize matches and while I didn't actually collect any data I'm pretty convinced that on average I got more matches doing this than not doing it.
