Why do I get around 20 likes when I restart tinder, then barely ever get likes again?

so my pictures are shit, I know I need to work on that. That doesnt explain why when I start a tinder again, I get a bunch of likes, then eventually they just stop.

I'm doing free tinder because I'm broke at the moment.

Tinder boosts you when you are new. I guess they want to give you the taste, then take it away unless you pay.

Is there any way to bypass this? Ive had gold before and the same thing happened (albeit, a little more likes than free).

I'm having trouble figuring out why guys that I'm better looking than IRL, get more likes/matches then me. I think I may have been reported at some time.
