The Algorithm Hates You?

November 9, 2026

Ever log on, see nothing happening, and wonder if the site has written you off?

Alexis Ferraro is back. She has spent almost 20 years inside Match, and I asked her to take on the rumors women over 50 keep hearing about dating sites, one at a time. I even asked her the controversial question about who makes money when you find love.

Here's what we're getting into:

🤖 Is the algorithm messing with you personally, or is something else going on?
💸 If Match wants you matched fast, does it lose money when you succeed? I asked.
👀 What happens to your visibility when you hide your profile, and what to do the day you come back.
💍 Is anyone on there serious? Alexis has a statistic for that.
🛡️ The procedure I use to make sure a scammer doesn't get very far with you.
