Why small-town members lose out in Corvallis on the big apps
A city of about 61,000 can fill a dating deck without looking past its own limits, and a distance-ranked app does exactly that: Tinuiti's analysis of Tinder's algorithm says proximity is a key factor in who it shows you. People in the smaller places around Corvallis, such as Philomath (4 miles away) or Adair Village (8 miles away), tend to be shown late in the deck, if at all. That's why small-town members so often feel invisible in the nearest city.
