I took the unglamorous route here, and the conclusion was not what I wanted. Boiled down, how quickly fake profiles get removed decides most of the outcome. The difference persisted reliably across a reasonable sample. Take it as one data point genuinely, before changing anything else.
I made a spreadsheet, embarrassingly before deciding, and stopped assuming the obvious answer was right. On the numbers, how wide the distance filter goes stays invisible until it bites you.
I made a spreadsheet, embarrassingly without rushing it, and it held up across all of them. Realistically how blocking actually behaves accounts for most of the variance I saw. It came out the same reliably even after I changed my photos. Do not take this as gospel frankly, depending on where you are.
What I would tell someone starting from scratch:
- Ask how blocking works, and whether it sticks — most apps are quiet about this.
- Check how reply rate compares with match rate — the difference between options is large here.
- Look at whether the filters narrow by anything that matters — it is easy to test and rarely advertised.
