I pay for the app, Platinum member level. I have no idea if that helps or not but I've noticed lately that I only get paired with bots. I used to just swipe right on everyone but when I learned that messes up your account I stopped. I now actually balance out my swiping but I still only match with spam bots. If my profile is set to only pair with spam bots, I ask the tinder gods to reset that, I really don't randomly swipe yes on everyone anymore and haven't for a while.
