Social dating is vaporware. The Online Dating Industry needs innovations: it is all about strict personality similarity between prospective daters!

"Mr Right or Ms Right" or "the one" or "your soulmate" or "the perfect match" does not exist!
It will only exist a pool of compatible persons, not more than that.
No online dating site can promise you to find "the one" or "your soulmate" or a "perfect match".
Moreover the person you are looking for does not exist or if it exist, he/she does not want to meet you because your are not compatible.

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.

Facebook is refining Facebook Dating feature (via Ms. Jane Manchun Wong)
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com/2018/08/facebook-is-refining-facebook-dating.html Perhaps Facebook is copycatting Tinder and Bumble, with some minor improvement with the help of former eHarmony's team,

and perhaps Facebook dating app will be free in order to erode Match Group dating sites.

Why MTCH can not disclose revenue and paying members per site?
like Match site revenue and paying members,
Hinge revenue and paying members,
PlentyOfFish revenue and paying members,
OKCupid revenue and paying members,
Tinder revenue? etc.
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.
Tinder reached operating ceiling, that is the main reason MTCH launched Tinder U, they need ambassadors.
Do not forget MTCH has big debt, in the range of USD 1.3 Billion.
Chispa, Pairs and Crown dating app, seems to be more bells and whistles and not really innovations.
