there is no way in all of hell that 14k right swipes led to 14 matches unless the person’s bio literally says they are a sex offender or something insane like that

Seriously, how do you even get the data to make such graphs?
On another note, I don't have much sympathy for people who clearly "swipe right on everyone". I am aware that it's a numbers game, but have since standards, man.
Have you tried being born wealthy? :-D
I'll try that next respawn
What's the code to unlock it?

"COMPUTER -- LOG OUT"
You know the algorithm shows you to fewer people if you swipe right on everyone
But they swipe left on a whole... 3.5% of people! Super picky, that's probably why
if swiping right on 14k people got him 14 matches and no dates, i can only imagine the hopelessness of trying to be picky.
The main problem here: commercial dating apps are not intended to help people find partners or flings. They are intended to make the companies money. Some may initially be functional but enshitification hits them fast, once they have a userbase established.
I met my boyfriend on OkCupid. That was 5 years ago and I doubt we'd be able to find each other today. The app went from matches based on answering questions to a "hot or not" sleazy hookup tinder clone.
It makes even less sense when you learn that they were never in competition with tinder since the two of them are owned by the same parent company along with nearly even other dating app. You'd think that company would want all its services to be unique in some way so as to encourage diversity in the market but I guess I've not got a mind for business.
Unrelated, good screenname :)
Dude...
