Badoo is in war with Zoosk; and Badoo backed Bumble to fight and destroy Tinder.

When the IAC Personals bought OKCupid (6 years ago) for an astronomical amount of money, the OKCupid team had the task to copycat Badoo, but they failed in that mission. IAC Personals backed Tinder instead, as the copycat of Badoo.
