Momo's CEO on year 2017 Results versus Match Group's CEO on year 2017 Results


It is hilarious if you change the word "Momo" for "Match Group"
and the name "Tang Yan" for "Mandy Ginsberg" and
that "Earnings Call Transcript" is nearly the same for Match Group.


"The new algorithm is based on machine learning that helps us to understand the interactive behavior of different users and how likely they are to interact with certain piece of content so that we are able to deliver a more personalized content experience to the users with a goal of encouraging more interactions around the fees that we push. " ???
Big promises, no one can innovate at all and revolutionize the Online Dating Industry. 

MOMO Full Year 2017 Highlights SAME RANGE as Match Group
Full year revenue in the range of USD 1.3 Billion.
Net income in the range of USD 350 Million.

TC article about "Tantan, China’s top dating app, raises USD70M for monetization push and overseas expansion"


https://techcrunch.com/2017/06/21/chinas-tantan-raises-70-million/


Other article says: "Tantan now claimes 90 million registered users. Excluding the fake and banned accounts, the number of valid users boils down to 60 million, roughly the size of the population of Italy. Among them, “post-90s” account for more than 75%. The DAUs reached 6 million and the second-day return rate is around 75%. Users have made over 3 billion matches in total, the firm disclosed."

3 billion matches in total == that is the same to say out of control machine gun shooting flowers (good for nothing, useless).

Tinder, Match, Meetic, Ourtime, PlentyOfFish, MeetMe (MEET), Hinge, Happn, CoffeeMeetsBagel, OKCupid, Bumble, Zoosk, Badoo and many more: in a WAR between themselves, no one will win!
Social dating is vaporware.
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2017/04/hinge-two-old-months-interview-where.html
Online Dating for serious daters does not need to be more social, it needs to be more effective/efficient. 
It needs to reduce the false positives problem and big data dating IS NOT the key to long-lasting romance.
The key to long-lasting romance is STRICT PERSONALITY SIMILARITY and not "meet other people with similar interests".

Match is adding video features in dating profiles.

Chinese Tinder-like Tantan soon to monetize after raising USD 70 Million Series



http://technode.com/2017/06/21/chinese-tinder-like-tantan-soon-to-monetize-after-raising-usd70m-series-d/

Tantan, the country’s top dating app, announced today that it has raised a USD 70 Million worth in a Series D, raising the startup’s total fund raised to USD 120 Million.
The app chooses to monetize through membership. .... Tantan will explore artificial intelligence technology and expand to new markets in the future in an attempt to enable more accurate and personalized social experience.
Tantan now claimes 90 million registered users. Excluding the fake and banned accounts, the number of valid users boils down to 60 million, roughly the size of the population of Italy. Among them, “post-90s” account for more than 75%. The DAUs reached 6 million and the second-day return rate is around 75%. Users have made over 3 billion matches in total, the firm disclosed.


3 billion matches in total == that is the same to say out of control machine gun shooting flowers (good for nothing, useless).

article: The Rise of Dating-App Fatigue
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2016/10/article-rise-of-dating-app-fatigue.html

 

Online Dating for serious daters does not need to be more social, it needs to be more effective/efficient.  
It needs to reduce the false positives problem and big data dating IS NOT the key to long-lasting romance. 


The Online Dating Industry does not need a 10% improvement, a 50% improvement or a 100% improvement. It does need "a 100 times better improvement"

 All other proposals are NOISE and perform as placebo.
