@jmj Jeff, I wonder how did you choose the 4 markets to launch in? Does it mean you have to IN that country to have access to that feature? Must have created the account while in that country?
@davidnagy Our test markets vary by product feature. It's typically a blend of established and emerging markets to give us a better perspective when testing.
Low hanging fruit surely.... you'd be mad not to be intrigued to see who liked you... slap a subscription on top of that and ta-da! Tinder Gold.
Coverage on TechCrunch
Tinder just became a free-to-play, pay-to-win game, the obligatory 2-way match was great for the app to distinguish itself from old-style dating sites because it limits exposure and now that is gone.
@mgrisoli Nope, Tinder was tedious. This will align with its value proposition, faster and easier way to find new people. Both still need to swipe each other right. Plus it's a premium feature, so not everyone will have it.
@oktaykilinc This will align with its value proposition for potentially paying users, which might sound good for business, but free users can be driven away if they see that the game is rigged, while I think that is unlikely because most people will not see the difference, it can happen
@oktaykilinc@mgrisoli I agree with Marcelo, Tinder is not a free app anymore, despite being advertised as such. It's extremely hard nowadays to get a match unless you boost it with money.
@ignlg 😖 now we can struts them to one day sell all our swipe history, our bests pickup lines...Or why not sellin an AI to rate or advise on a first message that work best for a new match...
@valereonmobile I've noticed that some users don't have their location, which means they have Tinder Plus, not sure if Tinder Gold will have something similar.
