I deleted Tinder and Hinge months ago. I wasn't banned, just burnt out.

Now I'm thinking about making new profiles, and thinking about general privacy, avoiding ad profile tracking, and even just in case I was to get banned on one, could I avoid that ban automatically transferring to the other app too.

So I'm wondering...

If you had Tinder on one phone and Hinge on another, would that help or not help? Clearly, they couldn't link you because of the phone number or IMEI.

What about the name of your home wifi network?

Home IP address? But could use VPN to get around that.

If you use different photos on each profile, do they actively use software/AI trying to find the same person on different accounts using different photos?

Using different email addresses obviously.

What if you used a different name and birth date? If they ever did link your accounts, that could give them reason to ban you because of false information, so pro and con.

Anything else to consider?

I sold my car and called Progressive to cancel my policy. They told me I should keep the insurance so I'm covered when driving other people's cars and so I don't have a lapse in coverage which would raise my rates in the future.

I may or may not buy another car in the next few months. For now, I'm driving a relative's car and will drive rental cars when traveling.

If I should keep the insurance, I guess I only need liability? No need for comp and collision, and Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist and Uninsured Motorist Property Damage if I don't have a car, right?

I don't think that non-owner car insurance is the solution right now, since I might get a car in a few months.

THANKS!
