+==== Turnaround strategy ====
+* Removed low-quality members, bots, and scammers
+* Paused performance marketing
+* '''Cut $20M in Q2 marketing spend''' and found $15M in cost savings
+==== Users ====
+* '''Bumble said their focus on turnaround will led to fewer users in the near term'''. “Our efforts to improve the quality of the member base will likely result in fewer paying members on our platform in the near term.” — ''Whitney Wolfe Herd,.''
+* Bumble will no longer provide guidance for paying users.  “We are pausing our practice of guiding to paying users... We do not want to degrade the base by overly focusing on short-term payer numbers.” — Ron Fior, CFO
+==== Products ====
+* Bumble said they are already seeing early signs of improvement in match rates by leveraging AI. “We are rapidly modernizing our personalized matching algorithm with AI... we’re already seeing early positive results with increases in relevancy and match rates.”“You cannot believe how fast AI is moving when it comes to helping be a strong personal predictor of success on matches.” — ''Whitney Wolfe Herd''
+* They are introducing coaching app. “We’ll also be introducing our Coaching Hub... Long term, this will be both human and AI-driven.” — ''Whitney Wolfe Herd''
+* Wolfe said the complaints have been about lack of quality matches. “The complaints are almost identical... We’re not getting the matches we want... we see fakes and bots.” “We are not scared of losing members that are unwilling to verify themselves.” — ''Whitney Wolfe Herd.''
+==== Competition ====
+Bumble is implicitly criticizing other dating apps (e.g., Tinder) for fueling growth with performance marketing at the expense of match quality.<blockquote>“When you scale for scale’s sake, the quality experience of finding matches can start to degrade.” — ''Whitney Wolfe Herd''</blockquote><blockquote>“What we learned is that just adding more profiles does not guarantee better matches. In fact, it can lead to the opposite...” — ''Whitney Wolfe Herd''</blockquote><blockquote>“I’m not willing to just go pay for more downloads to come into a funnel and get less relevant matches.” — ''Whitney Wolfe Herd''</blockquote>
