In taking over r/SwipeHelper in 2021, I had a vision of a community where users of swipe apps could talk about advanced topics far beyond the scope of existing app subreddits that were populated by memes, low-effort jokes, and blue pill advice.
And when apps starting banning users who even sniffed a violated and were reported, we were the first to test and explore the idea of a "hard reset", helping thousands of frustrated users gain access to a fruitful dating life again.
The opportunity for help extended further when I saw how unhelpful the profile advice was in most subreddits, who had strict rules about things you "couldn't say" about why certain users may not be having success. I created the Honest Profile Reviews threads
SwipeHelper has thrived because it's been an open space for true, raw advice with no bullshit, where unhelpful and repetitive posts and misinformation is quickly removed. We've grown from around 4K users when I took over the subreddit to 34K today, and several Winner Within members have come from it, like @Squilliam.
But that's also come at the cost of my time. The quality of posts we get is very low, which is common for Reddit and this space. I remove 50-70% of the posts that make it on the subreddit for various rule violations, mainly not reading the stickies, FAQ, or other guides.
So far, I've been doing this alone, but I'm starting to get behind. I myself haven't even used the apps in a few years, so my interest (and knowledge) into how everything works is waning a bit.
I'm looking for someone to take over the brunt of the moderation. Ideally, this isn't just a moderating job, it's also an advice job.
You'd need to:
I will train you.
If this sounds like you, DM me.

You'd need to:
- Have an understanding of the technical background of the apps. For example, I've worked in tech my whole career, which allows me to imagine how Tinder/Hinge/Bumble developers think.
- Understand male/female dynamics well, and have had a lot of success dating in the past.
- Be willing to update guides and maintain documentation about hard resetting, FAQs, etc. when it changes.
- Have some free time to moderate the subreddit each day (should take about 10 minutes a day, but consistency is key)
- Be interested in maintaining our current culture of truthseeking and efficiency.
I will train you.
