Bumble’s CEO knows you’re not happy with dating apps.
The dating app company reported its first-quarter earnings on Wednesday, and Bumble’s founder, Whitney Wolfe Herd, was blunt about how the company’s focus on growth “came with a hidden cost.”
“What we learned is that just adding more profiles does not guarantee better matches,” Wolfe Herd added. “In fact, it can lead to the opposite — more mismatches, more fake or low-quality profiles, and a frustrating experience. As mass quality dropped, some members got discouraged, found fewer successful matches and dates, and fewer people recommended the app to others.”
