IAC has a chart showing total revenue of Match group, which includes tinder. Page 6 http://files.shareholder.com/downloads/IACI/4185874240x0x970772/E6E5B1DF-8D33-4503-9F60-6F51154D4AC1/Q4_2017_Shareholder_Letter.pdf http://files.shareholder.com/downloads/IACI/4185874240x0x970... BTW Love the quote "Match Group proved definitively in 2017 that Tinder is not just a moment, nor just a solid business reflecting an enduring commercial testament to the power of love. "

TIL that IAC owns Tinder, Vimeo, Dictionary.com, Investopedia, Ask, and a bunch of other stuff. Their stock has tripled in 2 years, also.

  I don't really get it but it seems like people are getting married who met on Tinder at this point.

      You mean what a time to be single?

  I have friends who got married after meeting on tinder. I don't think they spent very long on the platform though, they never paid for it either.

"Commercial testament to the power of love". Any idea what author was trying to say??

  I think what he was trying to say is "Dollar dollar bill, y'all"

  actually now I reread it I'm not sure either. The rest of the paragraph is: "Tinder gave rise to a massive expansion of Match’s market and became one of the largest mobile platforms globally, capable of a profound and positive impact on the world. Nearly every week we read news stories around the world of people celebrating weddings for couples that met on one of our properties" Which doesn't make it sound quite as sleazy.

  He's saying: "The success of Tinder shows that monetizing love is a profitable model."

    But its not. Tinder relies on many months of your membership in other to make a buck. If you find love, you stop being paid member. I say to the contrary: the financial success of Tinder proves that online dating doesn't mean quickly finding true love.
