I am also certain these apps have hidden systems designed to work against most people.It's not the first time I give a dating app a try. In my past attempts, I always got a few matches in the first few days, then nothing. I believe the app matched me with people that liked everyone (or at least did so at that time) in order to give an initial 'high' that I would attempt to chase by paying.
Oh yeah, on some apps, there definitely seems to be profiles that are liking everybody. I've heard it speculated (not sure if confirmed) that they tend to give you a visibility boost when you are a new profile, which is why you can end up with a few likes in the beginning then nothing. Though with Hinge, I found I wouldn't necessarily get any even when new, possibly because Likes are more limited per day than some apps and it allows you to send a message with a like, so it's a bit more conscious.
