Same as when Match Group "acquired" HowAboutWe 4 long years ago.
(It was given nearly as free and slowly extinguished)

It is not a case like OKCupid or PlentyOfFish acquisition.

Hinge: A two old months interview where the CEO explains
he can not beat Tinder and will waste over USD 20 Million ?

Perhaps this acquisition is related to: Online dating giant Match Group hit with NEW patent infringement lawsuit

Match Group CEO will be GAME OVER soon? as per this interview
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com/2018/06/match-group-ceo-will-be-game-over-soon.html
The Match Group overpaid for PlentyOfFish last July 2015 (It was insane, USD 575 Million for PlentyOfFish that past its prime 4 years ago).
The Match Group had been doing all wrong, acquiring rotten companies to show illusory success to its investors.

The
Five Factor Model aka Big Five normative test used by eHarmony and its
copycats, had been proven/revealed as an incomplete and incorrect model
to assess/measure personality of persons.
Now it is a HOAX, a FRAUD to use it (year 2018)
The same for eDarling and EliteSingles/SilverSingles sites!
eHarmony was copycatted in several countries like
the online dating sites EliteSingles in Canada, Australia, USA, UK, Chile, Mexico; eDarling in Spain, German, France, Russia;
also TeAmo in
Russia is another copycat of eHarmony;
esync (eSynchrony) in Singapore,
MiMediaManzana in Colombia, Peru, Mexico, Chile, etc.,
Marrily in India
and
LemonSwan in Germany and other countries.

Last
May 2016, I suggested USA FTC investigate several online dating sites
for misleading statements, false claims, overpromises.
Like Match, eHarmony, Zoosk, OkCupid, EliteSingles (Affinitas GmbH.) copycat of eHarmony, Tinder and others.

Online
Dating sites have very big databases, in the range of 20,000,000
(twenty million) profiles, so the Big Five model or the HEXACO model are
not enough for predictive purposes. That is why I suggest the 16PF5
test instead and another method to calculate similarity.
High precision in matching algorithms is precisely the key to open the door and leave the infancy of compatibility testing.
Without
offering the NORMATIVE 16PF5 (or similar test measuring exactly the 16
personality factors) for serious dating, it will be impossible to
innovate and revolutionize the Online Dating Industry.
