Tinder would be able to counter a little this by showing the % that the other person swiped right. Women (and I guess Men) would be able to filter out those who swipe right 80%+ of the time...

(I've not used it - maybe this already show this?)

Just because you can hack another app doesn't mean you should. You're just enabling another form of spam. There are more interesting things you can work on. Don't be that guy.

Just having some fun. One of our out of state interns was playing on tinder (doesn't really know anyone around here) after a long day of work and we thought it might be fun to see if we could automate the process. No harm intended; just blowing off steam.

For what its worth, I think its a funny/cool project that you guys were obviously just messing around with. A lot of these top comments are taking this much to seriously. Cool execution guys!

They probably wouldn't do this because I'd guess that most men swipe yes at a _very_ high percentage.

I've never used Tinder, but I've had multiple men tell me they swipe right (I think? whichever is "yes") on every women, and multiple women tell me the response rate from men who have swiped right on them is very low. That doesn't sound like a very good system to me...

They should have some system of swipe potency. The more you swipe [per day], the less important each swipe becomes. Like Flattr.

Actually they should do this. Many guys I know swipe only right and my girl friends hate that. Maybe this will be an unintentional result of this tweak :)
