Is this AI fault? or something else?
Dating app Bumble announced on Wednesday that it’s laying off 30% of its workforce, impacting around 240 positions. The company said in a securities filing that the cuts are part of its plans to realign its “operating structure to optimize execution on its strategic priorities.”
Bumble anticipates saving $40 million per year as a result of the workforce reduction and plans to reinvest most of this money into product and technology development.
The company said it will incur approximately $13 million to $18 million of nonrecurring charges, mainly related to severance, benefits, and associated costs for affected employees in the third and fourth quarters of 2025.

Match, which owns rival apps like Tinder and Hinge, has also been struggling to attract and retain users, particularly young ones. Match announced in May that it was laying off 13% of its staff to reduce costs and streamline its organizational structure.
Let's hope it's because young people are getting back to meeting people IRL instead of on dating apps.
A lot to hope for, I know.

I honestly think that is what's happening. Seeing a lot more young people at Church these days.

I have heard most women are disappointed by bumble. For 90 percent of female users, the app has been a disappointment. I am not blaming everything on the app. When I first heard about bumble I thought it was a smart efficient idea at least in theory.
If I had to guess the female users had very high expectations which most men do not meet

I just have found for me post divorce I was shocked by how much the dating scene changed like everyone, but you adjust back to reality eventually. At least for me the few dates I have gone on it was much easier once I switch to having honorable intention with the woman, and her also having christianity in her life. Makes things way easier on both sides, you still can honor her as a sister of the faith and the woman that find you do in a weird way.
