Christophe Haubursin, an independent journalist, explored a strange phenomenon happening on Tinder. He noticed that there are profiles that highly resemble each other—all but in name and the last photo featured on the account. Haubursin’s findings are a reminder to be cautious on the app.
“Could this final photo be signaling something to other people on Tinder?” This is the question Haubursin pondered upon in his short video about Tinder. The profiles would look generic at first—usually featuring attractive men. Then, the last photo on the account would be a strange billboard edit with a mismatched face, an AI sketch of a different person, or a classic painting with a seemingly random face fused.
