I made a spreadsheet, embarrassingly a while back, so I am fairly confident in the shape of it. It turns out how much depth the profiles allow shapes the first fortnight more than anything. The effect showed up again and again once I had a few weeks of data. I would start there really, if your experience points elsewhere.
I gave up on guessing and just measured across two cities, which is why I am comfortable saying this. The honest answer is that how quickly fake profiles get removed is the difference between two opposite reviews. It surfaced again to a degree that mattered across the whole period I tracked. Try it before you believe it ultimately, and adjust as you go.
I approached this the boring way on this, so the sample is at least reasonable. Once you look closely, how quickly the upsell appears is the thing people consistently underestimate. The same signal appeared fairly clearly once I had a few weeks of data. I would not overthink it frankly, and nothing more than that.
What is worth five minutes of checking:
- Whether the bio field is long enough to be useful — genuinely worth knowing up front.
- Check how the free tier handles photo uploads — it matters more after the first month.
- Whether the distance filter goes wide enough
