I'm not a top 10% and I've landed a relationship and 6 hook-ups from apps over the past year. I'd say I'm 70th to 80th percentileIf you're not a Top 10% guy, don't bother with apps. It's possible to have some success with cold approaching as a non top 10% guy, but even that is a tough road. Social circle is best but not for everyone. I've seen blue pill guys have longer term relationships as a result of staying in the same area their whole lives, but I've also seen some of these guys end up divorced.
I'm also not a big advocate of Instagram game and sliding into DMs.
