On Thursday, the dating-app Tinder announced in a blog post that it was implementing a new algorithm to cap the number of right-swipes a user can make within a 12-hour period, with the aim of cutting down the practice by some users who “only swipe right just to see who likes them back.”
On Tinder, swiping right on a profile means you want to be matched with that person, and allows for further communication between the users if the other party also swipes right.
“As Tinder continues to grow, it’s our mission to make sure every match counts. So, we recently made some changes that we’re confident will make Tinder even better for all users,” Tinder posted on its official blog.
