Meet Group: obvious flaws in the products and lack of strategic direction, so the glass is either half full or half empty.

Analyst said: "Meet Group apps are not really dating apps any longer given the focus on live cams."
https://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com/2019/06/analyst-said-meet-group-apps-are-not.html



High precision in matching algorithms is precisely the key to open the door and leave the infancy of compatibility testing.
Without offering the NORMATIVE 16PF6 (or similar test measuring exactly the 16 personality factors) for serious dating, it will be impossible to innovate and revolutionize the Online Dating Industry.

Meet Group (NASDAQ:MEET) announces a USD 30 M share repurchase program that expires at the end of 2021.

Is the Honeymoon Over for Dating Apps?
https://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com/2019/06/bi-reportarticle-dating-apps-like.html

Analysts say there are more users switching between apps than new users entering the dating-app market. 

Analysts at ProPrivacy say the dating apps collect everything from chat content to financial data on their users — and then they share it.

NEW Lovoo review as part of Meet Group




https://www.netzwelt.de/lovoo/testbericht.html
https://seekingalpha.com/filing/3733637

What we do not like:
Attention! If you delete your profile at Lovoo, you must cancel the VIP subscription separately.

Lovoo urges you as a user formally to spend money. In the test, nearly half an hour after our registration, we received numerous push messages. They pointed out that a different user is looking at our profile. The text has always been formulated in such a way that it suggests a great interest in our profile. The goal of Lovoo is obviously to push us to buy credits to reveal the profile. Interestingly, the push messages ebbed in the test then also when we had a positive credit balance.

Both the purchase of credits as well as the VIP status, Lovoo's credit policy is not transparent. In the test, similar to Tinder, prices fluctuated depending on the terminal used. While we were on our Android smartphone for a month VIP membership to pay 11.99 euros, Lovoo offered us on the Windows computer the same subscription for 8 euros. So it is worth comparing. Lovoo also earns money with advertising - both on the desktop and in the app. The ads are decent but not intrusive.

Test score 6.2 of 10

1) Failing to grow users organically
2) Failing to gain a competitive advantage 

I agree, because as October 2016: Revenue from MeetMe (MEET) comes mainly (94%+) from Advertisement, not subscriptions.

SA article: Tinder’s rapid growth can’t stop Match Group’s plunge

http://seekingalpha.com/news/3220504-tinder-s-rapid-growth-can-t-stop-match-group-s-plunge


The rise of dating-app fatigue
http://seekingalpha.com/news/3220523-rise-dating-app-fatigue



Also Zoosk (ZSK) failed its IPO
http://seekingalpha.com/article/2183013-ipo-of-the-dating-app-everyone-isnt-talking-about

Match Group (MTCH) has a big debt because they had overpaid for PlentyOfFish.
Tinder (launched 2012) is in big war with Badoo (launched 2006), and can not outperform it.
The mission of Tinder was to kill Badoo, but it seems Tinder is killing Match (internal war inside Match Group).

Tinder, Match, Meetic, Ourtime, PlentyOfFish, MeetMe (MEET), Hinge, Happn, CoffeeMeetsBagel, OKCupid, Bumble, Zoosk, and many more: in a WAR between themselves, no one will win!

Key topics within the 2016 edition include:

        New implications of multi-platform on content and advertising
        How desktop consumption has evolved and remains relevant
Please do not mistake mobile with smartphone. Notebook with WiFi is a mobile device.

Please be alerted and informed it is believed Match Group creates fake profiles from inside to entice customers to subscribe with automatic rebilling clause, and USA FTC goes for them. (Or uses old and inactive profiles as new ones)
Perhaps no more automatic rebilling for subscribers soon, and Match Group can collapse.

Recently Match Group launched OurTimeBrasil new site for Brazil, and the site is new but its initial database if full of profiles.
Perhaps Match Group merged databases from Match Brazil, ParPerfeito, or who knows? but ... it seems it is happening what was described by former Match angry customer:
"Now before I paid for a subscription, I spent about a week seeing what kind of women were using Match dot com. During this time, I was getting a ton of email from women who apparently liked or favourited me. However, after subscribing, the number of such emails I received dropped to zero. I found the reason for this, and it’s because in the daily match results, only 1 out of 12 users is a subscriber (I watched this happen for the last 10 days). Seems the daily match results are setup to maximize sending new users lots of emails. But once you're a member, you need to pay extra to get into these daily match results."

Please read about the article "Match Subscribers Unsuccessful In Breaking Up With Dating App"
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2016/07/about-article-match-subscribers.html

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.

 Based on MeetMe's recent meteoric stock rise, it also appears that investors did not learn anything from the FriendFinder Networks experience.
Also, it is worth pointing out that 53% of MeetMe's 1H16 revenues came from only 3 customers.
