Why do dating apps seem so bad?
I recently talked to a former Senior Software Engineer at a major company in the industry and asked him about the matching algorithms. His answer blew my mind: the algorithms are super basic.
Why? When you tweak the main filters (location, gender you’re looking for, age range), the pool of potential matches shrinks dramatically.
So basically, there isn’t as much magic behind the algorithm as they make us think.
Anyone in the industry who can confirm this? 👀
