I can't prove it, but dating apps are using dead people

Sometimes when using some alternative and less popular dating apps, I bump into some very old profiles still giving likes. Their photos are low quality, probably taken with a 2012 smartphone. Some of them even have textual references to old stuff, like being against the Brexit 10 years ago.

My guess is that there are thousands of inactive profiles, people just uninstalled the app without deleting the account or simply signing out. Many of those people never used it again, but their profiles and photos are still public and probably active and managed by some kind of AI or bot. Many of those apps are basically dead in some locations, smaller cities, so they need to reuse old accounts. It's not crazy to assume that some of those people in the photos are dead and guys are matching with dead people who won't never answer your messages, just being used as puppets giving likes.

Is anyone here behind a dating app to confirm that this is a normal practice?
 
If you check the t&c of most of these big dating apps, they actually have something that says "may use artificial actors for replies" lol i think most companies are now looking at a year to 3 if you don't sign in they delete your account. I've had more of these lately from places.

There is an app called Kismia, it has over 10m downloads, it takes it to the next level, even active users online are used by AIs to send generic messages like "What kind of movie do you like?" to start conversations on behalf of people

T&C of dating apps are very shady
 
I'm on bumble and I gotta pay £5.99 a week just to see who liked me.

that's why it's better to be ugly, then you don't even need to pay anything, zero likes, zero drama

From a dating point of view I am angry.



From a psychological point of view I LOVE IT.

6GBP per week is crazy...I bought bumble lifetime subscription for like 50 USD in my country, no subscriptions anymore
i just hope Festinger is not the CEO of Bumble

Martin groot is the CEO of bumble with such ghastly business practices hmmmm.
 
yeah i've noticed the same thing on smaller apps. honestly makes me more interested in newer/active platforms like adoreo where there's actually a user base still using it
 
Your way of thinking is very unique. I’ve never thought about it in that way. Thanks for sharing.

I wouldn't surprise, smaller dating platform uses automated engagement to keep inactive user interacting. Big concern here as transparency, if ai or scripted account involved users should know about it or it becomes to tell genuine activity from platform driven engagement
 
Dead people ? Omg so we will have a chance to date ghosts :) that is going to be a interesting part.

May be the profiles are not removed acc to them they remove inactive accounts.
 
I feel like dating apps aren’t really made for people to meet. They turn dating into an endless search: you swipe, compare people, look at photos, and keep thinking there might be someone better out there
 
Maybe they do this to bring in more traffic and also make the platform more engaging.
 
I can't even bring myself to trust online dating apps these days.
