I don't know how good their algorithm is nowadays, but generally Tinder will show you profiles they think you'd want to match with, but ideally not get in a lasting relationship with. They want you to keep using the platform, not find true love.

If you get swiped left enough, Tinder won't really show you to most people. That part of their algorithm definitely works, it's easy. I'm not sure if they've yet found a way to quantify risk of lasting relationship.

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.
