      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?

          Whether or not it did enough people thought it did for it to get really popular, and then when those features went away get significantly less popular. I never used it but judging from how its popularity rose and fell: probably.

          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.

            Never really got the problem with opening with “hey.”

            In person, she’ll look like a defecating sphincter if she completely ignores you, so you’ll at least get a “hey” back, and you can play it from the energy she responds with, go earnest, go smooth, go funny, go away, etc. What do you want me to do, compose a fucking sonnet out of the profile you didn’t even fill out? “Soft, she who likes dogs and is very laid back, I know which one of the four girls in her profile photo I hope she is?”
