Does Tinder identify fake accounts to Facebook? Tinder has a huge problem with spam already. I'm ashamed to say that I'd be inconvenienced if my Facebook account was disabled; don't want to have to re-sign up for all my other apps.

#42Tinder 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?)
In a system as shallow as Tinder it's often hard to find reasons to swipe left. You're allowed a handful of pictures and a few words about yourself. Everyone puts their best foot forward, selecting their most attractive pictures and saying little of substance about themselves in the tagline. Unless someone's appearance is unattractive to you don't really know enough about them to make a judgement either way. It seems that men err on the side of approval, while women err on the side of disapproval.
To be honest, I don't think there are any men who are regular users of Tinder who swipe right less than 80% of the time.

There's conflicting pressure here. You're still playing the odds by swiping yes and no 50% of the time. You could curb this by going with total count of yes swipes per day BUT Tinder wants people to swipe. Disincentivizing the swipes seems counter productive to the brand.

#44Can you add a chatbot to carry on enough conversation to get to a date? Then just message the user when and where to go. And for ultimate virality, can you somehow encourage unprotected sex through either a filter on users' profiles(1), or the chatbot? Then you can create more users who are predisposed (through nature or nurture, I don't know) to use the app. Yes, that will take a while to really have an effect, but…
Better yet, have it auto-hire a professional to turn up in your place and make sweet love to the object of your momentary affections. you save time and your reputation as a lover is improved by outsourcing this messy task to a specialist.

#45If enough people use this hack, then we all end up with tons of false positives. That means we all have tons of matches as a result but few of them are real matches!
A better idea for Tinder is to charge a dollar to both people of a match so people will swipe with more consideration! The current scheme of things encourages frivolous insincere interaction.

That's probably because it's a hookup app.

#47"Recently, we decided to take a crack at one of life’s most perennial problem: finding love." The solution makes me sad and frustrated. I bet someday someone thinks it's a good idea to create a daemon bot to represents us in virtual dating world, and start relationship simulations, so that we need not bother.
Imagine that you provide all your preferences and quirks and whatnot to a bot. Others do as well.
Then you have the bots date. And have the bots do your quirks to be judged by the other bot.
After your bots date for sme period of time, successfully - without earning bad-relationship-simulation-karma, the bots can agree to introduce the real yous to one another. Your relationship bot pre-screened the other for you....
I hope I have some time to write a short story about this.

#49The great benefit of something like tinder is that it only allows contact after both people show some sign of interest. Compare that to an app where you can just message someone...and you've experienced spam on a new level. I've seen several people message others over 20 times, without ever receiving a response.

That's about what I meant.
