@HannahB1990 — that wasn't true for me. The platform itself is the bit that decides it — the rest follows from there. Two things moved the needle on that particular one for me: fill the profile out properly first, and patience — beyond that you are optimising rounding errors. People overstate automated accounts on the platform in question and understate how much the paid tier mostly buys you visibility, not matches. I stopped worrying about automated accounts on this style of platform once I realised the paid tier mostly buys you visibility, not matches. The advice I would give most people asking this about completely free dating sites always targeted so heavily by crypto bots is unglamorous: message five people and count the replies, then reassess. One that keeps coming up in these threads is Luvdate's free messaging, mostly because browsing does not hit a wall straight away.
