Well I must be shadow banned from the Big 3, Tinder, Hinge, Bumble. I wait a few months and try to make a new account but I can never escape the ban hammer. I’m assuming I’m either shadow banned or that restarting my account so much has dropped my ELO off the app altogether. Is there anyway to know for sure?

A shadowban means you receive zero likes or matches in the period of a week WITH an above-average profile and normal swiping behavior. Bumble does not shadowban, by the way.

Post your photos you use here, and we'll tell you if you're shadowbanned or if you just have a bad profile.

The reason I think I’m shadow banned is because every time over the past 2 years I’ve made a new tinder account I get 11 likes each, single time and then it dies. The amount of time to get to 11 changes too so I never know until it caps out at 11. It’s really frustrating lol.

I can say now my pics are definitely lacking, I take more, but most don’t come out good. I’ve read all the guides but I have a hard time posing myself not being able to see myself until the pic is taken. Even using my watch to view the setup beforehand they just come out awkward.

That's not a shadowban. That's normal. You get much more likes in the first few days or so and then it slows to a trickle.

If you were shadowbanned you'd be getting zero likes.

It's solved then, your pics are bad. I'm locking this.

In the future, either start a thread detailing your self-improvement efforts or a thread with all your pics.

Keep in mind that as a community, we frown upon threads that go like this -> "Oh my results are horrible but I don't wanna share my pics." They typically breed mental masturbation.

Nothing will transform you faster than having one or more veterans rip you a new one.
