The going stereotype about Tinder is that most men (all but the most attractive) match poorly while most women (all but the least attractive) match well - but that (again, most) women nonetheless experience a lack of communication post-match.

Women have more matches, but a worse experience. Men have less matches, but the matches they get are better.

Which is better, getting 1,000 matches in a day, when 999 of them are people who just swiped right no matter what, or who are downright rude, aggressive or poor communicators?

Or getting 2 meaningful matches in a day from people who actually want to meet you and might be a good fit for a relationship or friendship?

The first is just a bunch of noise with no signal. The second is preferable.

And plus, I'm a guy and I would easily get 3 or 4 matches a day when I was on Tinder. It's not like men are completely ignored on it. I'm hardly a supermodel, but nice pictures and a well-written profile can go a long way on online dating. Plus living in a high-population city.

I've never used online dating and, barring some kind of calamity, won't ever be dating again, so I'm working only with second-hand experience. But what you say makes some sense for sure.

Well that makes sense since you hear about men just indiscriminately saying yes to everyone. And you also have to imagine that some of the comments are just obscene catcalls rather than attempts at conversation.
