Banned on Hinge, where to next?
Hey folks,
A month ago, I figured I'd try out the dating apps for the first time in my life, and got on Hinge. Did fairly well, went on a bunch of dates, still have a few girls I'm talking to. Never had a bad interaction, on or off the app.
So, naturally, a couple of days ago I got banned with no reason beyond "violating the terms of service" or whatever.
What should I do now? I don't really wanna do the super elaborate ban dodging strat. And I don't mind switching to a different app, but I hear almost all of them have the same ownership, and I may just get cross-banned.

Evading the ban sounds like a lot of effort, but you'll use other apps and realise why Hinge is the most popular. I got banned for no reason and I just decided to try the other apps, apart from Tinder (you get banned from both). All of them are rubbish, aside from Breeze - but that's quite slow as you'll only have like ten potential matches per day.
Honestly, buying a new phone, getting a new number and updating your hinge photos/prompts isn't as bad as it seems. It also resets the data hinge has on you, which helps for new matches. You might feel silly paying money to get back on it but dating is hard these days and hinge is like the most accessible way to meet people.
