BLOOMBERG - Tinder and Bumble are diversifying their services beyond dating due to slowing sales growth and declining user engagement. Bumble anticipates a growth slowdown to 9% this year, down from 31% in 2021, and is repositioning itself as a broader human connection platform. Meanwhile, Match Group reported lower-than-expected revenue projections and a drop in paying users. Financially, this has led to a significant reduction in the market valuations of these companies, with Match Group's valuation falling from a peak of $50B to $8B, and Bumble's valuation also substantially decreasing. In contrast, Grindr has shown resilience and growth potential in its niche market despite facing legal challenges.
