I gave best tips the first handful of matches and what the replies looked like was roughly the same either way.
Before writing best tips off, try this: set your expectations before you start swiping.
For me the piece people skip with best tips is what the reply rate looks like without photos.

What I would tell a friend starting with best tips:

- Give best tips the first few days before deciding — what the pool looked like was about what you would guess
- Worth checking on best tips: what the reply rate looks like without photos
- The point where it either works or does not on best tips turned out to be uneven depending on the hour
