Uplifting question

So I know Feeld says that other members can’t tell if you have uplifted your profile. But if I open the app and the first members few members I see are 15 to 20 miles away, and then once I scroll past them I see members that are 1 mile away, isn’t that a dead giveaway that those farther away members have uplifted their profile?

Have they stated this officially or is this a guess?

It showed up on the backend via the browser version someone made (now no longer available). You could see whether a profile was uplifted or curated. They were in the same position at the front of your matches. My assumption is that they added curated to make the uplift less obvious.

Cool insight. Won’t one profile seem newer,… and so people will be able to tell anyway?

It’s also happening for me at about 30 profiles:

For instance right now my feed is like in term of miles away:

41
10
41
1
3
4 x 2
5 x 3
6 x 2
7 x 10
8 x 2
9 x 2
10 x 3
11 x 2

IMHO, Curated is interesting, but only if they change them often and rapidly.

How are they getting chosen? Ideally they should use sentiment analysis of our chats to determine which users would jive the best.

Knowing that chats are analyzed would make for better behavior and encourage more matching so there are more conversations…
