You know, so drugs have a great retention and they're really good at retaining people, but are they actually driving meaningful value? I would argue no. Facebook and social media is really good at retaining users and almost against your free will and hacking your desires and keeping you there. And they do that because they make money through advertising.

And the more time they have with you, the more ads they can put in front of you. But is that truly enriching my life? Is that truly creating value? Or can you look at that and saying, well, that's actually distracting me from a lot of other shit that is more meaningful and more valuable. So we were always very careful.

Like there was many times a desire to look at retention as sort of the end all be all metric. And by the way, we have fucking phenomenal retention. We had retentive powers beyond social media platforms. But what you were doing on Tinder, I always thought was 10 times more meaningful than kicking back and watching content. You were actually connecting with human beings.

And I think to me, all we have is connections. All the other shit is just noise. All we want is to experience love with other human beings. Remember I told you, as things scale, right, new problems form. They take a new shape.

If I was still at Tinder, and in fact, while I was there, this was sort of a metric of success I always drove home for the team, is that retention and the number of connections isn't as important as the quality of connections.

So the natural course of Tinder, I always saw, is actually we're moving to a world of no swiping, where Tinder is so smart that I could just say, Harry, I have the person for you. And why don't you focus on that? And if I was wrong, great, I'm happy to introduce you to someone else. Technology becomes, I think, the better it gets, the more human it gets.

And to me, the ultimate archetype was the matchmaker. Could we achieve the success of the human brain matchmaker who was able to say, Harry, here's the girl for you. Again, I'm not going to judge what you want to do. I'm just going to introduce you guys. You can do whatever you want.
