The Online Dating Industry needs INNOVATIONS, not more bells and whistles. 

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

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.

BIASED and INCOMPLETE article: "Forbes interviewed 13 former employees of Magic Lab (Badoo, Bumble and others)"

The investigation is biased and incomplete!

NEW Controversial "research" from Badoo
https://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com/2019/06/new-controversial-research-from-badoo.html



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

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!


The Online Dating Industry needs INNOVATIONS, not more bells and whistles.
Lack Of Innovation & Decadence can summarize the Online Dating Industry.
C-Level executives are more worried about their golf scores than their company’s long term strategy and innovations.
C-level executives are cooking barbecues under the water (selling smoke) and not paying attention to latest research from Academics which could be beneficial for the Online Dating Industry.

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.

"Match Group CEO Isn't Worried About Facebook's Dating Feature"? via Bloomberg



https://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/2018-06-06/match-group-ceo-isn-t-worried-about-facebook-s-dating-feature-video
It is believed the Marketing Team from Match Group sites like Match, OKCupid, PlentyOfFish (POF) and other sites from the group, does create fake profiles from inside to entice customers to subscribe with dirty credit card trickery to renew subscriptions, and the CEO is cognizant and endorses that situation!

Badoo, backed Bumble and has its own silly / bogus patent, since 2007.

Bumble is not independent from Badoo structure (servers, database)
There is NO ROOM for Tinder and Bumble in the same boat, they are in war between them now, so if MTCH acquires Bumble, will close it forever (put to sleep).

Then Badoo backed Bumble to fight back and destroy Tinder (last December 2014).

My bet: Badoo is in the spyware business, no more than that!

Many complaints about Match dot com suggest ... database is full of old & inactive profiles, scammers, fake profiles, etc!
Perhaps Only way to sustain that huge revenue is / WAS creating fake profiles from inside to entice customers to subscribe. ???

Badoo & Bumble on sale?


https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/23/bumble-majority-owner-badoo-looking-to-sell-for-about-1-point-5-billion.html

It is said, Badoo is backed by Russian Mafia in the spyware business.
And Bumble is not independent from Badoo structure (servers, database)
There is NO ROOM for Tinder and Bumble in the same boat, they are in war between them now, so if MTCH acquires Bumble, they will fight between them.



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!
