To me that is not true and one of the common misconceptions on $BMBL, like someone insightfully mentioned word of mouth is a powerful thing. Especially in today’s day and age. Here is a real world scuttle butt example: I was talking to a girl about here boyfriend and how they met and how she meets guys. She said hinge, instagram tinder. She said hinge for dating, tinder for hook ups. If she mentions Bumble for dating that is a huge endorsement and whoever hears it is virtually certain to try Bumbls. If $BMBL is continuously successful at providing quality matches (Whitney’s goal) it will gain new users->leading to potentially more subscribers->leading to potentially more lost subscribers due to success->who will spread the word and create more inflowing subscribers than out flowing. Word of mouth may be the most powerful advertising force
