Why small-town members lose out in Keizer on the big apps
The bigger the city, the longer the line. Keizer has about 39,000 people, and on an app that sorts by distance everyone there sees their own neighbors first. A member in Gervais (10 miles away) or Turner (11 miles away) is behind that whole line in the deck of anyone they'd like to meet in Keizer. Tinuiti's analysis of Tinder's algorithm says proximity is a key factor in who it shows you.
