about article: The Strange Secrets of the Online Dating Industry



https://www.vice.com/en_ca/article/mb5xe4/the-strange-secrets-of-the-online-dating-industry

The Online Dating Industry needs to kill the Matchmaking Industry, like computers killed typewriters.
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2017/06/article-brits-are-returning-to.html
 

Two Silly Conferences for the Online Dating Industry, same time, same place
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2018/02/two-silly-conferences-for-online-dating.html



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.

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"

http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2018/01/about-article-how-to-build-netflix-of.html


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.  

Breaking "the online dating sound barrier" is to achieve at least:
3 most compatible persons in a 100,000 persons database.
12 most compatible persons in a 1,000,000 persons database.
48 most compatible persons in a 10,000,000 persons database.
100 times better than Compatibility Matching Algorithms used by actual online dating sites!

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.

Badoo founder does not consider Tinder a competitor

READ BETWEEN LINES: CODE FOR TINDER - BADOO & BUMBLE WAR

Badoo NOT ON SALE, Founder talks at GQ magazine
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2018/02/badoo-not-on-sale-founder-talks-at-gq.html


Be alerted, be informed Bumble is backed by Badoo (80%, majority-owned by Badoo)
It is said Badoo is related to Russian mafia of white hat hackers in the spyware business.
Badoo is in big war with Tinder (Match Group)


When Match Group (fka IAC Personals) bought OKCupid (7 years ago) for an astronomical amount of money, the OKCupid team had the task to copycat Badoo, but they failed in that mission.
IAC / Match Group "acquired" HatchLabs to "develop" Tinder copycat of Badoo.
Then Badoo backed Bumble to fight back and destroy Tinder (last December 2014).

SA article: How The Network Effect Will Allow Match Group To Dominate For Years To Come


https://seekingalpha.com/article/4148258-network-effect-will-allow-match-group-dominate-years-come 


"The company has been a serial acquirer, acquiring PlentyOfFish in 2015, and working on acquiring one of its' biggest rival 'Bumble'."
Match Group never discloses revenue per its each and every 45 brands.
It has big debt, in the range of USD 1.3 Billion.
"The company has been a serial acquirer", as they can not innovate in the Online Dating Industry, they acquire to show illusory success to investors.
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2018/02/match-group-mtch-reports-full-year-2017.html
The new CEO wants to feminize Tinder, and will not acquire Bumble at all.

Personality Based Recommender Systems are the next generation of recommender systems because they perform far better than Behavioural ones (past actions and pattern of personal preferences) or other system that learns your preferences (READ machine learning)
Also do not mistake "artificial intelligence" with a behavioural recommender system.
Please do not call AI to any silly recommender system that learns your preference.

Remembering "Operation Match"



http://www.thecrimson.com/article/2018/2/16/operation-match/

 Operation Match 1966 USA.
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2017/01/how-ai-can-help-you-find-date.html


50+ Years later, all Scientific Research shows: The key to long-lasting romance: COMPATIBILITY is STRICT PERSONALITY SIMILARITY and not "meet other people with similar interests". 
 

At the paper  "Perceptions of Ideal and Former Partners' Personality and Similarity
The authors had written
".... mismatches in personality are a frequently mentioned cause for relationship break-up. If former partners indeed have dissimilar personalities, our findings underline how difficult it is for many people to select a mate with a similar personality, or, alternatively, how little value individuals put on finding a similar partner in terms of personality.
The present study's results, as well as the results found in previous studies (e.g., Eastwick & Finkel, 2008), may be used to educate people, especially singles, about what really matters in long-term relationships, for instance, similarity in personality, instead of complementarity."
  

 

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.  


Breaking "the online dating sound barrier" is to achieve at least:
3 most compatible persons in a 100,000 persons database.
12 most compatible persons in a 1,000,000 persons database.
48 most compatible persons in a 10,000,000 persons database.
100 times better than Compatibility Matching Algorithms used by actual online dating sites!

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.

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.

Biggest scammers are not from Ghana or Nigeria, they are precisely marketing online dating executives, who use credit card trickery like automatic rebilling and fake profiles to entice customers to subscribe.
