When I first read "article and paper: Dating Apps Are Basically Useless For Finding Dates, Says Sad New Study"
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2016/07/article-and-paper-dating-apps-are.html
I thought the research was done using Badoo database, not Tinder.

Anyway, the conclusions are nothing new.
Year over year regurgitating the same statistics, talking the same rubbish!!!
Year over year the same scratched disk!!!

They DO NOT want to INNOVATE!
About "The social power of algorithms"

Lack Of Innovation & Decadence can summarize the Online Dating Industry.
C-Level executives are more worried about their golf scores than their company’s long term strategy and innovations.
C-level executives are cooking barbecues under the water (selling smoke) and not paying attention to latest research from Academics which could be beneficial for the Online Dating Industry.
Wasting precious time with Matchmakers which should be obsolete.

Social dating is vaporware.
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2016/08/out-of-control-machine-gun-shooting.html
Online Dating for serious daters does not need to be more social, it needs to be more effective/efficient.
It needs to reduce the false positives problem and big data dating IS NOT the key to long-lasting romance.

The key to long-lasting romance is STRICT PERSONALITY SIMILARITY and not "meet other people with similar interests". 
 
I had reviewed over 55 compatibility matching engines intended for serious dating since 2003, when I had discovered "the online dating sound barrier" problem.

The Secret Sauce Behind Online Dating ? There is no one yet!
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2016/07/the-secret-sauce-behind-online-dating.html

The Online Dating Industry does not need a 10% improvement, a 50% improvement or a 100% improvement. It does need "a 100 times better improvement"

 All other proposals are NOISE and perform as placebo.
