Very disappointing that Match Group, being effectively a monopoly, doesn't give us the one benefit we would get from it being a monopoly: industry-wide bans.

Normally, you'd need a whole bunch of companies to agree on a universal standard for communicating bans between each other and agreements to stick to it (similar to standards like USB) but here they could just do it. They even collect the information, they just don't act on it.

Imagine being a director at this company. One of your employees brings you a report showing that your most active users, who are the backbone of your business, have a huge overlap with rape reports. This will destroy the company, and you know they'll fire you for bringing it up and suppress it anyway. So you just.... forget... to bring it up at the next quarterly. You used to work at Uber, and before that covering up how gambling and gaming companies float on a raft made of addicts, so this is well practiced blindness.
