Not only that but they make it so any matches you do have are sorted to be close to your last like, to encourage you to get a subscription. Also other stuff. Tinder is also weird in that you sort of have to have "game theory" going - If you swipe on someone who doesn't swipe on you, then you will get shown less times. So you should swipe on people you are certain you can match with. However the app also uses your swipes to figure out your preferences, so just going for "they seem like the type that would be into me" will end up with you not really having any assurance of being shown someone who might strike your fancy.
All the apps do algorithms, but tinders is especially terrible and the one where you really have way out of the "marketplace" mentality.
