Here's the article: elo-tinder-secret-ranking-system-86395
These parts were rage fuel:
Everyone who uses dating apps has experienced swiping through endless 3/10s wondering where all the 10/10 fitties have gone. It seems like all the fit people are shown first, leaving you feeling deflated and wondering if you'll ever find love. Well, there might be a reason for this. Tinder's algorithm uses its very own "desirability" ranking, called an "Elo ranking" which pairs people together before they even get the chance to. The Tinder secret Elo ranking system is basically ruining lives.
Apparently each user has a rating on the app, and they can only swipe through people of a similar rating. So basically, if Tinder doesn't think you're fit, you won't see the fit people on the app.
If you're a new user your score should start off high. This is why newest profiles are shown first. As you use the app more and more, your score takes shape.
It's no secret dating app algorithms show the most swiped right people first, so you're most likely to see the fittest people, then end up in a whole other world of people who make you want to be single forever. But on Tinder, you might NEVER been shown the fittest people on the app – so you might never get a chance to meet your perfect match.
This is because if you have a low ranking, you'll see people with low rankings too.
