I mean, it did work though. It was one of the top dating apps for a long time.
Work as in actually help meet people? Not really.
As a man who’s struggling with dating, Bumble has always been more effective for me than Tinder
Agreed. When I was playing that game Bumble for me was a much more effective platform. Tinder is horrible, just a cesspool of low moral high ego monkeys.
Admittedly my marriage started from a one night stand / hookup at a bar with someone visiting from 400km away, so these apps never paid off in the long term for me.
Huh the app lost 53% of stock price so no whatsoever she was doing didn't work why they fired her ass.
You're contradicting yourself, because you didn't understand (or didn't read) the article.
Bumble was a platform where only women could message first. It was a leading platform for a while. This CEO changed that to be a more conventional system where men could message first. After that change, the user base dwindled and the stock tanked, as you noted.
In other words, they were much more successful as a woman-message-first platform.
I see never used Bumble, well are they changing it back? What other features does it hold? Is like all the rest now were you swipe left or right? I used OKCUPID back when you had to put thought into your profile. And the longer the better.
What she was doing was making it so men can message first...
Maybe you missed the headline where this was a new CEO that killed their only unique feature...or the fact that I used the past tense in the comment you replied to.
