Good question. I think one of 3 things are gonna happen.
Tinder will still stay King and the other apps will continue competing for a small segment of the market (least likely scenario in my opinion)
Some other app will come along and take most of Tinder's market share, making Tinder as outdated as match.com (most likely scenario)
People in general will move away from dating apps to something that is slightly different, like Instagram. Dating apps will still exist of course, but be the thought of almost the way we think of OkCupid (I don't think this will happen either, because apps in general seem to be the way of the future. Tinder has made some mistakes and it makes the most sense that another app will come along and correct those)

Thanks. Why do you see Tinder losing to losing to other apps? Why would girls migrate to other apps?

Because the other apps offer something that tinder does not. For instance, Tinder has developed a rep for having a hookup reputation. This will make some girls hesitate to have it on their phone, but they might not feel about another app like say hinge. But, the biggest factor is the quality of matches a person gets. Tinder has rapidly moving into a "pay to play" territory, which translates into a person who is not willing to spend money getting less or lower quality matches. In my opinion, that is a bad business model. Think about if Youtube started charging you for every video you watched. You'd probably find a different company for video streaming. Tinder isn't on that level yet, but they have taken a few steps in that direction
