@Adrizzle Interesting theory, can make sense, but as you said, we need more data points to prove that a guy with (good) smartphone pics do better on OLD in 2024 than a guy with pro pics.
This seems odd to me as the goal of having pro pics is to stand out. It has been proven to work many times by many dating profile photographers. I'm curious to know what @MILFandCookies would think about this debate. I seriously doubt that going from high quality shots from a full frame camera to lower quality pics from an iPhone would yield better results for anyone's profile. We would need to make an experiment of shooting the same profile for someone with an iPhone and with a pro camera to prove that.
I tend to think that this rumor of "smartphone pics being better than pro pics now" started because of how OLD went significantly worse for the last couple of years, to the point of having a lot of guys with great pro pics not getting the expected results.
Why OLD went down the drain would be a better question IMO. And for this question, I think there are multiple factors at work to explain why it has become so hard to get a decent amount of matches now. The first obvious answer is dating apps trying to always milk more money from guys, like Tinder making boosts almost useless since around mid-2023...
