Match Group, parent company of Tinder, has a big debt of USD 1.2 Billion!!!
The Match Group is only a collection of old and obsolete online dating sites: Match, Meetic, Chemistry, OkCupid, LoveScout24 (FriendScout24), OurTime, HowAboutWe and many more!
Match Group had been doing all wrong, acquiring rotten companies to show illusory success to its investors.
For me it is clear they do not want to innovate.
They want to squeeze their big databases to get all the juice (money) from the wallets of the daters.

Mobile payments not taking off!!!
