I agree,
Perhaps Russian Mafia from Badoo (owner of Bumble), and believed mainly in the spyware business,  will hack servers from Match Group and reveal Match Group really creates / created fake profiles from inside to entice customers to subscribe, and will incinerate Match Group as "Impact Team" incinerated AshleyMadison some time ago.

If Alexa clearly shows SilverSingles peak and decay

SilverSingles is a rebrand of EliteSingles for Singles 50+

"The personality test is based on the Five Factor Model theory of personality traits"

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!

EliteSingles / eDarling sites are only copycats of eHarmony.
A prospective client will not perceive eDarling / EliteSingles sites as better, superior or different than eHarmony's ones.
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2017/06/about-article-elitesingles-full-of-fake.html
It is also said EliteSingles USA churn rate 87% every 5 months! 

Match Group is 10 times bigger than Spark + Affinitas merge in revenue.
eHarmony is 2 or 3 times bigger than Spark + Affinitas merge in revenue and 
eHarmony's sites are 3 times bigger in active users and revenue than EliteSingles's sites.
And worse, NYSE:LOV can not beat and will never beat eHarmony Inc. in United Kingdom, Australia, Canada and United States.
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2017/08/coo-von-betreiber-affinitas-im-neuen.html 

eHarmony is a 18 years old obsolete site. The success rate of eHarmony is less than 10%.
eHarmony is only supported by a big marketing budget and not by serious scientific evidence.
The 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)

In 2014 Badoo backed Bumble.

http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2018/03/eharmony-2018-instead-of-innovate-in.html

about "Dating website eHarmony's 'scientific' match ad banned" in UK
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2018/01/about-dating-website-eharmonys.html

------------------- eHarmony should be closed forever for fraud!
The success rate of eHarmony is less than 10%.
eHarmony is ONLY a 17+  years old obsolete site and a HOAX, based on a big scientific fraud, only sustained by big marketing budget.
The Big Five normative test used by eHarmony, had been proven/revealed as an incomplete and incorrect model to assess/measure personality of persons. It is a HOAX, a FRAUD to use the Big Five normative test in year 2018. 
  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. 

The key to long-lasting romance; COMPATIBILITY is: STRICT PERSONALITY SIMILARITY and not "meet other people with similar interests".
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.

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.

http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2018/03/wp-redditors-made-graphics-to-visualize.html


Social dating is vaporware. The Online Dating Industry needs innovations!

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.

Happily married ex-BBC producer was notified that his photos had been used on EliteSingles

Please remember: In the case of Yuliana Avalos and Melissa Midwest former 2014 big lawsuit againts Match Group, third-party scammers in Africa or wherever were creating fake profiles and catfishing with them.
IAC and Match Group were essentially aware of that situation and did nothing to stop it.
The USA Court ruled that IAC and Match Group were not responsible.
Attorney Evan Spencer, said that despite the fact that anti-scammer technology is available, Match Group failed to use such things as face-recognition software – which would have discovered that Yuliana Avalos's pictures were being used hundreds of times.
Yuliana Avalos has argued in a former 2014 big lawsuit against Match that photos of her were posted without her permission on the site as part of a scam that drove a man to commit suicide.
