lol right? And wasn’t it for women to have a safer place to online date?
So they’re basically growing women under the bus for money. Classy.

Isn’t this the one thing that made it stand out?

At least they’re grown!

It doesn’t sound that way. Can you explain how the specific change does that? Sounds like to me it’s an option for women, and it’s done in a way that limits how they can reach out first.

It’s not changing the default behavior, so it still has it.
Per the article, they’re introducing a new opt-in feature that a woman, enbie, or person looking for same-gender matches can set up - basically a prompt that their matches can reply to.
I think Bumble also used to prevent you from sending multiple messages before getting a reply, but maybe that was a different app… If they still do that in combination with this feature, then I could see this feature continuing to accomplish their mission of empowering women in online dating.

Yes, yes it was. It is now basically the same as every other thirst trap out there.

Yes, but there is a new CEO, people are leaving the dating apps like crazy now, and they’re probably trying to do some shortsighted BS that will increase engagement now at the expensive of eroding the long term health of the product experience.
