@@alexvech Hinge's original mission statement did aim to be "the app that gets deleted" because it focused on fostering successful relationships that would lead users to leave the platform. It's a noble goal, but one wonders about long-term sustainability. If everyone using Hinge found lasting relationships, the app would eventually run out of new users, right? This potential challenge might explain their recent move into facilitating friendships. This could be a way to expand their user base and cater to a wider range of needs.

Lesson Learned: Don’t spend your cash on dating apps
@betterdates
3 ай бұрын
For those who are done with the current popular dating apps, what if online dating apps had no swiping mechanism? Sure, it's worse for the company's profit, but it's actually far better for the users of the app. That's what we're currently developing at BetterDates. You tell us who you are as a person, what kind of date with what kind of person you're looking for, and we find your perfect match! It's like the traditional ways of match making mixed with AI, whereas the AI does the match making for you.

I don't get why they are looking at people getting married and leaving the app as a "lost customer", that would be like a college looking at people graduating as a lost customer. People enter and exit the dating "market" all the time. If your product is very good at helping people reach what they want, like marriage or a long term partner, then you will capture more and more of the new people entering the market as they reach the dating age.

If they really wanted to make a successful dating app they would educate the users about the realities of dating, show the data the company sees of the users in real time. Maybe even ask a bunch of questions to try to build a quasi psychological profile and train a unsupervised model to try to organize closely linked users and show the users why the algorithm thinks they are a closer match. Or if you want to keep up with hot or not, pay somebody at the company to tell some users why their profile is trash if it has no description or something. While having a mandatory inactive period that increases with time for users that don't either unmatch or respond to their matches after a few days.

The grindr CEO is like "don't experience life, I do everything: go to that restaurant, play that music, chat with my AI" and at the same time "we want to solve loneliness"

As Distributist says, dating apps should limit matches, especially for women, otherwise its just spam.

People keep bashing the apps for damaging their mental health and motivation. But it's not the apps fault, it's the people fault that they don't know what they want. Vast majority of us want that someone special, but when open opportunities present themselves we quickly hop to change our goals into "if only I would make out with this cool girl/guy and postpone that other guy/girl for [insert serious form of relationship]", because we go against our beliefs in favor of fun. Back when our parents and grandparents dated, they did stick to their goals and beliefs, because the choices were narrow and more fulfilling than in the present world. So no, I don't think the apps are the only thing to blame. Real life dating is just as harsh as online dating, if not more, because the same principals are in action both ways. The only solution is for people to analyze if relationship is what they're seeking and lower standards for physical looks.

When your business plan is involving a product that doesn't work you will hit the wall. It's like a college that doesn't actually allow it's students to graduate "to retain customers". If they had a product that actually works - i.e you pay 500 or even a 2000 and actually get a long term relationship they would have way more customers despite those that find a partner leaving.

Most dating apps are optimized for casual dating segment, which is very profitable. If they want to expand to long term relationships, the product team will need to set user centric KPIs for people seeking long term relationships, such as number of people who match and go on to get married. This is good practice for all product teams. For example, if your product saves people money, then the user centric KPI should be average savings per customer. These dating app product teams have strong business KPIs like subscription revenue and MAUs, but really lack user centric KPIs.

relationship can give you only disappointment so better to devote your free time to self-improvement: reading books, travelling, watch series or to learn new language. It will bring you more benefits in the future than guy or girl, who will fall in love in another pеrson next day after he/her met you )

All of these apps are the same when it comes to quality and unfortunately the quality of the average human is not very high these days. Most people have some form of ADHD, bad digital habits and for some reason consider traveling to be hobby. It feels the same when I go food shopping, a ton of selection but most of the stuff is bad for you. After using these apps for 10 years I can honestly say that I've had enough and I'd rather get used to enjoying life on my own.

These guys basically say that their dating apps collect and use personal data and data about conversations with connections for monetization options other than just matching. I'd say this abusing their position. People on dating apps don't expect their private life to be leveraged to monetize in ways different than matching. Cringe!

An AI companion is one of the saddest things I've heard of. Is it a computer generated friend or psudo-spouse? The movie Her was a dystopian film meant to warn us. Not a plan for a business model.
