Why small-town members lose out in Post Falls on the big apps
The bigger the city, the longer the line. Post Falls has about 47,000 people, and on an app that sorts by distance everyone there sees their own neighbors first. A member in Rathdrum (5 miles away) or Hayden (7 miles away) is behind that whole line in the deck of anyone they'd like to meet in Post Falls. Tinuiti's analysis of Tinder's algorithm says proximity is a key factor in who it shows you.
