My last experience (late 2022) is that if you’re a free user, they will never show your profile to someone you’ve swiped right for, nor show you any profile that has liked you, in order to force you to buy the premium and get to see who liked you
My last experience ended in mid 2023, but I definitely did not have that experience.
Occasionally I wouldn’t see the people that had swiped right on me, but usually I did. Free user.
The whole blurred “upgrade to see who liked you” thing was funny because once you ran into that profile, you’d immediately recognize the blur.
Back then, I did personally experiment and simply started swiping left to every profile. After 300 “nopes” (I counted), I didn’t miss a single match, despite the little ticker showing “49+” profiles that have liked me
I know Tinder has lots of ways to detect if you’re a returning user, which could’ve been one of the reasons for me being so “unlucky”
I had a match last week, as a free account who’s never had premium.
