And I do not mean 'great' by any objective standards. but the obvious problem is that those matches are not necessarely with the people you share the same taste in music. By showing the most popular artists you 'like', you might get more likes and matches.

The funny part is: Tinder thinks it's doing us a favour. They are not in my top 50 and if they would be, they are not popular enough to be in my Tinder top 20.) My Tinder 'top 20' is actually top 22, because there's also the artists who perform my chosen anthem. The artist who's anthem you have chosen might be in Tinder's list of artists you listen to most. Chelsea Wolfe doesn't fit into my 'top 20', because there are 20+ more popular artists on my top 50.

Guess which one was on my Tinder 'top 20'? Well, not Chelsea Wolfe, because she has only few million plays, while Billie Ellish has billions and she was the most popular artist on my personal top 50. I have listened couple of tracks from Billie Ellish. When I had updated my Tinder top 20 an hour before Nirvana was not there (because it wasn't yet in my top50).Īnother example: I have listened to Chelsea Wolfe tracks about 1000 times during past 4 weeks. When Nirvana entered my top50 at #49 I updated my Tinder profile's 'top 20' and Nirvana also appeared there. So if you've only been listening to 40 different artistist lately your #41-50 could be any artist you've been listening to for one minute (or none?).įor example: My Tinder profile's 'top 20' has only seven artists from my real top 20. Tinder shows the twenty most popular artists out of your top 50. So, your Tinder profile do NOT show your top 20.

It seems that Tinder uses your top 50 artists you've been listening to most (during past 4 weeks or so).Īnd out of your real and accurate top 50, Tinder shows 20 most popular artists. That way just happens to be extremely dumb. Spotify and/or Tinder could fix it easily. People have been complaining about it for years.

This problem with Tinder has been going on for several years.
