Cape Town's dam levels have dropped to 50.4% due to high water usage and the heatwave. Remember, water is essential only for necessary purposes. Let's work together to save water and delay restrictions. Every drop counts!






How many Marathons have you completed since you started running?? 🤔





Guys who are good with girls understand right away why Bumble's stock completely tanked Allow me to mansplain. Bumble thought, wrongly, that the goal should be to get as many girls as possible on the app. The goal SHOULD have been to get the coolest guys on the app, with the allure of hot girls. The reason why is that the cool guys bring in the hot girls, which then average girls follow to not get left out of feeling in, which then brings in the average guys who spend money on the app's monetization features Bumble failed to realize that the key to this is making the cool guys enjoy the platform, or else it all falls apart, which is exactly what happened. Bumble's IPO filings called itself a "women's company", not a dating company. So basically just ignore your key customers entirely. When the cool guys leave because they're either 1) tired of all the feminist stuff, 2) the app becomes all about monetization instead of actually meeting people, they leave. And they can, because they are cool guys and can meet girls elsewhere. So then, the hot girls leave, which ends up making the average guys leave since they're not going to pay for meeting average girls since they can do that IRL. I'm honestly unsure if Bumble can turn itself around at this point. When was the last time OkCupid or Plenty of Fish were event relevant? It's like when a hot nightclub no longer becomes trendy. You can't just turn back time. Bumble would need a complete rebrand at this point.
