Note on Tinder "Smart Photos"
You might think — what's the point of AB testing your 1st picture when you can just use Smart Photos feature? The way Smart Photos work is that it'll shuffle your 1st picture and untill it finds out which gets more swipes right. Yet, you have very little control and insight into it. Tinder won't tell you which picture is the best, why is it the best, how does it compare to other of your photos and you'll learn exactly 0 new points about how you should present yourself online. It's a black box!
