about article: How to Build the Netflix of Love



https://daily.jstor.org/how-to-build-the-netflix-of-love/

No dating website can promise you to find 'the one'
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2018/01/no-dating-website-can-promise-you-to.html

"Mr Right or Ms Right" or "the one" or "your soulmate" or a "perfect match" does not exist! It will only exist a pool of compatible persons, not more than that.
No online dating site can promise you to find "the one" or "your soulmate" or a "perfect match".
Moreover the person you are looking for does not exist or if it exist, he/she does not want to meet you because your are not compatible.

http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2017/08/new-2017-fresh-paper-assortative-mating.html


Lack Of Innovation & Decadence can summarize the Online Dating Industry.
C-Level executives are more worried about their golf scores than their company’s long term strategy and innovations.
C-level executives are cooking barbecues under the water (selling smoke) and not paying attention to latest research from Academics which could be beneficial for the Online Dating Industry.

The Online Dating Industry does not need a 10% improvement, a 50% improvement or a 100% improvement. It does need "a 100 times better improvement"
 

 The 3 milestone discoveries of the 2001 - 2010 decade for Theories of Romantic Relationships Development are:

I) Several studies showing contraceptive pills users make different mate choices, on average, compared to non-users.
"Only short-term but not long-term partner preferences tend to vary with the menstrual cycle"

II) People often report partner preferences that are not compatible with their choices in real life. (Behavioural recommender systems or other system that learns your preferences are useless)

III) What is important in attracting people to one another may not be important in making couples happy

The Online Dating Industry needs INNOVATIONS, not more bells and whistles.

Viola.AI .. but Match failed with Amazon Alexa


http://www.onlinepersonalswatch.com/news/2018/01/what-is-violaai.html

Nobody can tell them Viola.AI seems to be a big overpromise! They mistake AI with a silly recommender system.
A fraud, a hoax, that will not outperform Watson IBM
that uses obsolete Big Five normative test (same as eHarmony, EliteSingles and eSync)..

"Viola.AI creates a much more secure, interactive place to meet, talk, but also begin to participate in the non-cyber world. For example, a matched couple will be able to use cryptocurrency to pay for gifts or the wedding dress. But also couples counseling and other expert advice. Users sign up to the platform. Their identity is verified through facial identification, including via their social media profile. They can then use the system cryptocurrency to pay for membership services and other community-linked goods and opportunities. The entire ecosystem of dating, in other words, is found on one platform."

Badoo & Bumble on sale?

It is said, Badoo is backed by Russian Mafia in the spyware business.
And Bumble is not independent from Badoo structure (servers, database)
There is NO ROOM for Tinder and Bumble in the same boat, they are in war between them now, so if MTCH acquires Bumble, they will fight between them.



Tinder, Match, Meetic, Ourtime, PlentyOfFish, MeetMe (MEET), Hinge, Happn, CoffeeMeetsBagel, OKCupid, Bumble, Zoosk, and many more: in a WAR between themselves, no one will win!

"Paktor’s AI or machine learning algorithm. How does it ensure quality matches for the user?"


https://e27.co/paktor-cto-online-dating-trumps-old-school-courtship-20180119/

"For example, let’s say you liked person A, B, C, D and E and a new user comes and likes person A, B and C. Because you liked the same three people as well, we will recommend person D and E to that user — we judge that you two have similar tastes. It is based on users’ reaction to each profile.

Another example is if you match with person A, B and C, but only talk to C, we will try to find profiles similar to C for you — this is based on their profile info, such as age."

NO INNOVATION AT ALL,  the same as any online dating site!


Please do not call AI to any silly recommender system that learns your preference.
DO NOT mistake "artificial intelligence" with a behavioural recommender system.

"They're not the only ones using fake profiles," says Marc Lesnick, organizer of iDate, the industry's largest trade show. "It's definitely pervasive."

But Lesnick, the iDate organizer, says there’s no doubting who’s up to such tricks. “Everyone in the industry knows who the good players are and who bad players are,” he says. “Eventually the bad guys will get found out and get caught. This is fraud.” But when I ask him to name names, like many in the business, he declines. “I have to bite my lip,” he says. “Some of them come to my event.”

Last May 2016, I suggested USA FTC investigate several online dating sites for misleading statements, false claims, overpromises.
Like Match, eHarmony, Zoosk, OkCupid, EliteSingles (Affinitas GmbH.) copycat of eHarmony, Tinder and others.

EliteSingles / eDarling sites are only copycats of eHarmony.
A prospective client will not perceive eDarling / EliteSingles sites as better, superior or different than eHarmony's ones.
http://onlinedatingsoundbarrier.blogspot.com.ar/2017/06/about-article-elitesingles-full-of-fake.html
It is also said EliteSingles USA churn rate 87% every 5 months! 

Match Group is 10 times bigger than Spark + Affinitas merge in revenue.
eHarmony is 2 or 3 times bigger than Spark + Affinitas merge in revenue and eHarmony has 750,000 paid subscribers and Affinitas in the range of 380,000.
eHarmony's sites are 3 times bigger in active users and revenue than EliteSingles's sites.
And worse, NYSE:LOV can not beat and will never beat eHarmony Inc. in United Kingdom, Australia, Canada and United States.

eHarmony is a 17+ years old obsolete site. The success rate of eHarmony is less than 10%.
eHarmony is only supported by a big marketing budget and not by serious scientific evidence.
The Big Five normative test used by eHarmony and its copycats, had been proven/revealed as an incomplete and incorrect model to assess/measure personality of persons.
Now it is a HOAX, a FRAUD to use it (year 2018)  

The same for eDarling and EliteSingles sites!

eHarmony should be closed forever for fraud!
The success rate of eHarmony is less than 10%.

eHarmony is ONLY a 17+  years old obsolete site and a HOAX, based on a big scientific fraud, only sustained by big marketing budget.
The Big Five normative test used by eHarmony, had been proven/revealed as an incomplete and incorrect model to assess/measure personality of persons.
It is a HOAX, a FRAUD to use the Big Five normative test in year 2018. 

eHarmony was copycatted in several countries like
the online dating sites EliteSingles in Canada, Australia, USA, UK, Chile, Mexico; eDarling in Spain, German, France, Russia;
also TeAmo in Russia is another copycat of eHarmony;
esync (eSynchrony) in Singapore,
MiMediaManzana in Colombia, Peru, Mexico, Chile, etc.,
Marrily in India
