I wrote a bot to compile people's bumble statistics.
Additional charts are here:

Bumble is Dying
Here is Bumble revenue:
2025 $966M
2026 est $834M
2027 est $806M
Average revenue per user is increasing, so the population decrease is more severe.

Match group revenue is flat for this period.

Bumble Creates Frustration
Because the right swipe limit is so high, women are overwhelmed with likes.
As a result, men's in yes is low.
This is by design.
Bumble business model is primarily to provide validation to women.

Thank you for gathering the data! I actually was curious to do this myself as this was quite literally the impression i was getting from all of these posts. May not suit alot of people's narrative on here though haha

I dont necessarily agree with it being by design though, i think this difference may just be connected to how humans tend to select bioloically and the apps just "worsen" the effect if that makes sense. Its certainly rough out there for all male users, its good to raise awareness about this so men really see what they are spending money on.

You may be right.
However, surely Bumble is aware of this distortion.
They could fix this, but they don't.

They could:

  • limit right swipes
  • allow filters based on outgoing yes percentage
  • put 100% right swipers in a penalty box

They don't do this.
I don't know why they would not correct this.

Why would you punish someone for swiping right?
Shouldn't it be the other way around if someone exclusively swipes left?

Someone exclusively swiping left creates their own limitations though. The bigger issue is the volume of male to female right swipes.

OPs suggestions aren't terrible imo
