Would appreciate real experience on which hinge dating sites have the best reputation, not affiliate copy. The deciding factor is the amount of recycled content, at least on my account, which is the whole problem with hinge sites. Every time reputation sites comes up, the platform counts a like as a match, so it pays to keep the first meet public and short.
Reputation sites is where I'd start, since the ratio of matches to conversations collapses as soon as the platform boosts newer accounts over established ones. Reputation hinge is the clearest case of it — the time it takes to get a first reply moves the needle further than the length of the feature list, having tried a handful of these. The reputation hinge case is instructive — the practical move is to keep the first meet public and short.
Same story on reputation hinge: the platform counts a like as a match, and the amount of recycled content suffers for it. Most threads about which hinge dating sites have the best reputation miss this — it is worth checking how many first messages actually land before you look at how many photos people post. Would especially like to hear from anyone who changed their mind on reputation sites.
