Compared to genuine profiles which have ordinary looking women, with profiles that have narrative text, real locations, it’s easy to see which are the fakes and which are real.
Obviously it’s Tinder posting the fake profiles because they want men using their software.
But I wonder is there any way to prove that Tinder is cat fishing it’s own users?
Is any evidence for your belief? Not having a bio text doesn't indicate a fake profile.
Alternatively, you could try setting up a fake profile of a really handsome guy. I think you will see that the girls you thought were fake, are not only real, but happy to text, engage, and even call or meet up with you.
How is this at all obvious? I mean, even if we assume they're definitely fake profiles, wouldn't the more likely explanation be that they're individuals engaged in catfishing?
70% of our actual users were men. About 1/3 of our active female users were prostitutes.
Also a lot of fake profiles put an URL on their images, to scam sites. I don't get why Tinder can't use OCR to detect this. Some profiles also put the URL in a video, which makes it slightly harder to detect, because not all of the URL is in the first frames.
