This has been my experience as well. Although there's some sort of strange seasonality to it. I can go a couple of months with barely any matches on Bumble, followed by a few weeks of matching with everybody and their cousin. Can't tell if it's single people feeling bad for not bringing anybody back home for Christmas or simply Bumble messing around with their ELO rankings of users behind the scenes.

Bumble used to sort profiles by attractiveness and never remove inactive users. Their user base is too small and they have to get down to these tricks.
That's why you'd see so many great people and no match, they all left long ago. It's ghost town.
You probably get news matches when people sign up or come back, dating is very seasonal.
