        Probably, considering that it was enough to get the company to the point that it could go public. And for the company to lose 54% of its “value” after changing it.

          So it got enough eyes on the platform to serve them ads or subscriptions or whatever their monetization strategy was…did the product ever once function as advertised?

            Not really because a lot of women just used to begin the conversation with “hi” which gave you nothing to work with. Especially when they had a basically empty bio.

            So basically suffered from exactly the same problem that every other dating app suffered from which is that nobody really puts the effort in.

      Yeah. I used the BFF version for a bit to try and find folks in my area to hang out with. It’s a really horrible app. When someone messages you, you have 24 hours to respond. If you don’t then the two of you get unmatched. I can understand something like unlatching after some time period without responding, but just 24 hours? Ick.
