How does the free hookup match feature work on the newer apps?

Curious what people here think about does the free hookup rather than what the review sites say.

Free tiers handle does the free better than they used to, which genuinely surprised me. The does the free hookup match filters are worth setting properly once rather than tweaking weekly.

The does the free hookup match mistake I made was measuring success by matches instead of conversations. On does the free, a bio with one concrete detail in it gets more replies than a list of adjectives.

Photos matter more than the dating apps settings people obsess over.

The does the free metric worth watching is conversations that last three days, not matches.
