Yeah, $MTCH is a great stock.
So will your company LYFT give us free rides without charging its customers? Why do you expect MTCH to behave like a charity?
No. I expect value for money. When you pay Lyft we give you a ride and we show you transparently what it costs, where your driver is in real time, and what route you will be taking and when you will arrive. We optimize our routing so the trip is safe for you (and for us because it minimizes our insurance costs). When you pay Match Group for boosts and super likes, your money just disappears. You have no idea if these premium features work or not. Ranking algorithms punish the bottom 80% of male users so that they are almost never shown to women. But Match Group will still shove upsells in your face knowing that it will get you nowhere.
If people don’t find value in match’s premium features, people will stop using it and the revenue will go down and the market will take care of itself. If people are paying for it repeatedly, that means they are getting value out of it.
Dating apps are a disaster for most men, they shouldn't use them, especially these hookup apps. Too many desperate men on them. Only thing they do is make a profit for these companies and make a lot of women delusional.
if ya'll need help meeting women irl, feel free to dm, no shame
No one is forcing anyone to use these apps
This does not absolve any app of ethical behavior. Twitter and Facebook don’t force you to read their feeds. But they are criticized very rightly for amplifying misinformation.
And what exactly are criticizing dating apps for? For not getting any matches? From too many desperate men swiping on women?
Hell yeah we do! Take that nerds! Neeeeerrdssss
Most tech companies profit off misery
Most tech companies give you something of value in return. Affirm: you couldn’t afford this. Now it’s in your hands. Lyft: you need to go somewhere. We take you there. Match Group: you are single. You are still single. And if you paid us, you are single and broke.
Now do Meta
Misery? I have so much fun on dating apps that I have no incentive to ever settle down into a committed relationship
