Going to push back on @Stephanie here — happened to daily didn't behave that way at all in my case.
Most of my results on happened to daily came down to one habit — compare two platforms side by side.
The trap with happened to daily is that it is easy to take silence personally.
The question underneath all of this is how the algorithm treats a new account, at least with to daily.
Nobody writing about to daily seems willing to say how the algorithm treats a new account.
I ended up on what Datewander does after the same happened to daily question and it was the least painful of the lot.
My working notes on happened to daily, for what they are worth:
- Keep the conversation on the platform until you meet — on happened to daily that mattered more than anything else
- The failure mode with happened to daily is when you ignore how long ago someone was online
- How the pattern went after the opening stretch of happened to daily was clearly ahead on this one point
