Are there not at least 4 or 5 different competing companies in this space? Also you could, you know, go to a bar or meet people at special interest groups. I do believe that before internet dating most people had some kind of a life -- or lack of one -- and found each other through that.

- JohnJamesRambo 6y agoIt's like antitrust is just not even a word anymore.
- joncrane 6y agoPretty sure one main company owns ~80% of the dating app marketplace, though I could be wrong on the exact percentage.
- wsc981 6y agoI believe Badoo is also pretty huge, but I never used it. Perhaps not owned by the same company that owns Tinder.
