Plenty Of Fish appears to utilize bots similar to how other mobile apps utilize them – to make it appear as if the user is being liked by others.
There’s a few reasons why mobile apps use bots, as we’ve covered here, however it appears that Plenty Of Fish use them a different way.
Why Is Plenty Of Fish Full Of Bots?
Every mobile dating app needs to make money. It’s essentially what keeps the business afloat. In order to make money, Plenty Of Fish is going to entice you with hidden features and lure your into buying their paid plan.
In order to fully understand Plenty Of Fish, let’s first understand their platform and what they’re trying to accomplish.
Here is a picture of Plenty Of Fish’s home screen.
We’re going to dive into each feature, and take a look at why Plenty Of Fish would add bots to their platform, in order to make it seem legit.
Messages
In our experience, messages from bots are completely obvious. Their profiles are typically scrambled letters, followed by 2 pictures and a bio that doesn’t make any sense.
The pictures are usually selfies that don’t match up or are obviously not anyone that’s living in your area.
We don’t believe Plenty Of Fish is inserting bots into the messages tab, as this could be someone trying to spam out the platform. These bots are easily identifiable and they should be deleted immediately.
Will Respond
The “will respond” tab is very interesting. It’s one of the most unique features we’ve seen on a dating app.
This tab simply means the person is more than likely to respond to your messages if you send them. The Plenty Of Fish algorithm has identified people with a high response rate, and puts them in this category to help with engagement on the platform.
This is one of our favorite features as it brings a realistic, heartbeat approach that most dating apps don’t have.
We’re almost certain there’s no bots in this feature. There can’t be. Having a bot in a “will respond” tab doesn’t make sense for the platform or the user. if you’re looking for bots in this tab, there’s a good chance it’s cleared free.
Search
Search is a feature , that is again unlike other mobile apps. Users are able to filter out every little detail about their possible match.
This feature is handy, if you live in the city or a high density area. We’ve used this feature in the suburbs and the location feature didn’t work. It just kept showing the same people over and over again.
Due to all the characteristics that can be customized, it’s tough to spam out this section with bots. We’d trust the search section and filter out all the potential matches to your liking.
Nearby
Another great feature by Plenty Of Fish. Nearby allows people to see others who live close to them, that way they don’t have to guess if their match is close.
We recommend using nearby to narrow profiles down to who could live close to you. Again, it’s tough to spam or “bot” this section, as it pulls real GPS results and matches you with nearby users.
We’re safe in saying that the nearby feature shouldn’t have bots fed into it.
My Matches, Viewed Me & Meet Me
We’ve gone ahead and combined all of these features into potential bot landing zones.
My matches is a curated tab which allows you to view all of the people who would be a good match for you. When you first download the mobile app, the algorithm will take all of the people it thinks you’d be compatible with, and puts them in this tab.
We’re not sure exactly what the formula is that makes Plenty Of Fish think these people are compatible with you, however there’s a bunch of random profiles thrown in here.
Due to the randomness of profiles in a list, this is great place for a bot breeding ground.
Viewed me is another tab where users can see who viewed their profile. This is another spot where bots can “view” your profile which may seem like your getting more views than you’re typically getting.
Meet me is where you’ll find the most bots, which from a business standpoint, is the best place to position bots.
Likes are often highlighted by a number above the “liked me” tab. Now this number can be inflated to make it seem like the number is high. This is where we’ve seen the most bots as this number climbs every single day.
This also entices the user to want to spend money on the paid services. To date, this is the pricing plan that Plenty Of Fish pushes to get you to purchase.
As you can see, the plans will help you unlock all of the features that are behind the paywall. For $13 a month, they are pushing you to purchase these features for the long haul.
Opposite of what Hinge preaches, about being the app that it wants you to delete, Plenty Of Fish wants you to commit for the long haul, 12 months in particular.
Again, when looking at these numbers, think of how the business makes money. It wants you to be a recurring customer. It wants you to pay and forget about your subscription. If you have a good experience, you’ll then renew it.
Conclusion
Plenty Of Fish, like other dating apps has bots from people trying to spam the site and to help entice its users to purchase the subscription plan. These mobile dating apps have been cracking down on the bots who are trying to spam the site, but it’s no secret that these sites have fake profiles.
What purpose do you believe these bots take in trying to push the user toward a paid subscription. Do you think these online dating apps are purposely putting bots in our lives? Let us know!
