I always found it curious that Whitney would associate herself with Badoo, but I guess that's business as usual.

Pre-Tinder, Badoo was a fast growing dating app that was shady af, full of dark patterns on the site/app - https://www.wired.co.uk/article/sexual-network [2011]

Then this came out a while ago, and I can't say I was surprised how the founder is portrayed https://www.forbes.com/sites/angelauyeung/2019/07/08/exclusi...

(and I would also not be surprised at all if I found out that Bumble's data was being sold to others - AFAIK no signs of that currently happening)
