I am an automation hobbyist and single guy on tinder, and I think I can crack the code on this one: Activity difference
On top of you doing the math on how active a bot is verse regular humans, some additional probably related factors are:
- Bot accounts use attractive photos
- Bot accounts can claim to be anywhere
- Bot accounts are often new accounts, and new accounts get boosted
- The longer you use the app, you run out of actual people to swipe on, but the new bot accounts continue to pop up at the same rate - making their % of your total swipe pool increase over time.
- Bots might just be masking the reality that there isnt many people in your area using the app lately.
All that said, in my region of NY I would not consider it a problem at all. maybe this is not a problem for me because my area is very populated, so there's a lot of actual people on the app.
