10 long years operating at a loss!
It is clear they have plenty of cash to burn, perhaps no more than that

AB Kinnevik ran away from Rocket Internet SE
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2017/06/ab-kinnevik-ran-away-from-rocket.html

Many if not most, USA, Canadian or European businesses models are unfeasible in Latin American countries, African countries, Russia or even Australia because transportation costs could be 10 times bigger than in Europe.
All European countries fit in Brazil, Russia, Africa or Australia.
It means: If you want to replicate a big success in Brazil, it will be as hard as the same to replicate it in all European countries, but in this case with 1/8 of population compared to Europe!

All the domino should fall ...  when they run out of money!

http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2016/09/ft-article-shares-in-rocket-internet.html

Rocket Internet SE owns in part Affinitas as 2016 report

Equity interest in %
Affinitas GmbH, Berlin 21.9 %
Affinitas Phantom share GmbH, Berlin 34.4 %

Affinitas GmbH. 2014 financials. Revenue and Net Loss? (Affinitas Phantom Share GmbH.)
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2016/04/affinitas-gmbh-2014-financials-revenue_30.html

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.

7ft 7in British actor; the UK's tallest man, dies of heart failure, aged 36 / Please compare with EliteSingles UK and USA

EliteSingles USA compared to tallest 2 active USA NBA players 221 cm (7 ft 3 in). 
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2017/03/elitesingles-usa-compared-to-tallest-2.html

eHarmony's sites are 3 times bigger in active users and revenue than EliteSingles's sites.
And worse, Affinitas GmbH. can not beat and will never beat eHarmony Inc. in United Kingdom, Australia, Canada and United States.

There is a WAR between eHarmony Inc. and Affinitas GmbH. (EliteSingles / eDarling sites, copycats of eHarmony)

eHarmony is a 16+ 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, had been proven/revealed as an incomplete and incorrect model to assess/measure personality of persons.
-------------------------
Very easy to copycat eHarmony, but very difficult to innovate: a 100 times better algorithm than eHarmony.
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2016/10/very-easy-to-copycat-eharmony-but-very.html
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. and Marrily in India.

Big investments, big losses
http://theheureka.com/kinnevik-rocket-internet-investments 
As for the young Latin American Amazon clone, Linio, 2017 is set to be a good year – with estimated revenues of €281m, the Samwers claim that the return on sales will be an impressive 12%. This is a clear sign of the Samwers’ huge and rather unrealistic ambitions: by comparison, the company’s US original, Amazon, makes just  1.1% in returns.http://theheureka.com/rocket-internet-wants-to-take-down-ikea 
I suspect no one of the cloned companies by Samwer Bros. are really profitable or sustainable for the next 5 years, to until 2019 at least; and as they will not be able to sell to the original company they had copycatted, as they failed to sell Affinitas GmbH. to eHarmony Inc. last March 2012 and as the Management Team can not innovate in nothing because they are not entrepreneurs, they will collapse. All cloned companies seem like bubbles.

For a long time, the company was regarded as the hope for the Berlin-Startup.
Lastly, there were more and more reports of crises.

Rocket Internet has made a promising start, and there was great excitement at the 2014 stock exchange. Many wanted to see the next Silicon Valley in Berlin! But now, disillusionment is spreading. Rocket has also made a loss again in 2016, although less than in previous years.
