Wow. That is a horrible. Can't believe any VC would invest money in such a
misleading, annoying startup.

Are these messages coming from WooMe internally or are they SPAM submitted

That's like the oldest scam that pretty much every single dating site uses.
I'm surprised how TC is shocked...shocked to find that on a dating site.

The value reddit users get is from viewing new and interesting content and
comments.

The value a user of a dating site gets is the PROSPECT of going on a face to
face meeting with another person.

If reddit engineers were good enough to make an AI to post great new great
content everyday along with insightful comments and analysis, I'd still go.
Hell, that might make me want to go even more often.

If I found out a dating site users were doing the same with messaging, that
completely precludes me from getting the value I really want from the site,
thus its useless.

When WooMe launched they got a lot of attention. They thought they were going
to take the world by storm. Unfortunately their product is a novelty.

They took $17.4 million dollars of VC with no real hope of showing a return to
their investors. They got desperate and this is the result.

This is particularly poignant and frustrating given OKCupids recent
acquisition. I'm happy for those guys- but I am sad that the one good dating
site will probably be discontinued. It's tough when you know the shady tactics
of practically all the others.
