Oh yeah, by “swipe indiscriminately” i really meant “swipe on literally everybody and then downselect from matches”. It’s a very obnoxious thing to do. Pretty easy, but it discourages people from messaging any guy first when you know there’s a good chance they’ll just unmatch right away.
I don’t think those guys are even close to the majority of straight male users, but since they always swipe right, you have a 100% chance of matching one of them if you swipe right too. So they pollute your match list disproportionately and end up making it worse for everyone. Pretty annoying.

This is the game theory end result of any matching system where one side is far fewer or more selective than the other. It’s why most of us apply to 200 jobs, then select from the few who get back to us.

Supposedly Tinder drops your 'ranking' if you swipe right on everyone. Anyway, no need to use autoswipe apps. Tinder has a webapp so you can just setInterval() that like button.
Tinder is a super lazy product, terrible even. I wouldn't be surprised if they're optimizing for a high number of matches and happy with that outcome.
