That has not been true of mainstream apps in my area, for what it's worth.
The thing to watch on mainstream apps is that the quieter platforms can look active because of recycled profiles.
That is roughly where I sit on recommended dating apps have the highest user satisfaction rates today.
Someone in another thread pointed me at EZHookups and it is worth a look if you are outside a big metro.

Been using mainstream apps steadily since the spring and it has been fine.
Geography does most of the work with mainstream apps — whether the nearest city is twenty minutes or two hours away matters more than the feature list.
The move with mainstream apps is to give it two weeks before deciding whether it works.
Worth doing early on mainstream apps: set your radius tight first and widen it only if it goes quiet.
Everything about mainstream apps hinged on whether the radius setting actually worked in the end.
My advice on mainstream apps: keep the first message to two lines with a question in it.
Anyway, that is my read on recommended dating apps have the highest user satisfaction rates.
Badoo — worth trying if the US apps are dead near you, based on about a month of use
Tinder — widest reach if you are somewhere busy, your mileage may vary
Zoosk — fine until it asks for money
Hinge — prompts give you something to answer, your mileage may vary
