I'm always amazed how many employees some of these apps, that seem simple, have.

Grindr has 273.

And apparently Tinder has 809.

How???

I imagine two devs could maintain the app. I've certainly managed more complex apps myself.

Perhaps the algorithm is infact incredible (I doubt it?) and requires a large team of data scientists, developers and sys admins.

There is of course people to deal with spam protection and abuse.

But then what? Is the rest all marketing and ads sales?
