If you've never used Badoo, I would encourage you to sign up just to see what tactics they use to encourage users to pay, how they do account retention and also how they encourage you to add profile information and photos. Interesting stuff.
- sssparkkk 15y agoNot to mention how overly aggressive they are in their tactics to bring in new members. 'There's one message waiting for you!'
- digitallimit0 15y agoAlmost all of this reminds me of OkCupid.
- code_duck 15y agoHow about Facebook? They've long been luring and manipulative. I'm thinking of things like showing you pictures of friends when you're trying to close your account, and saying you won't be able to talk to that person any longer.
- bonobo 15y agoI was spammed with so many of these emails that I never really cared to check what Badoo is. I just created a filter to delete them as soon as they hit my inbox. And I don't think I will ever try. I'm still pissed at it.
- TeMPOraL 15y agoYeah, thanks for that comment... it wasted me some money and sleep time ;). I actually went there, and somehow in 2h I filled in ~80% of my profile data, uploaded some photos and paid for additional features. Not that I was fighting with myself, or something, but those tactics do work. They seem well optimized, attracting one to act without being too annoying.
