The show kicks off with a look at dating platform Bumble filing for IPO. Alex looks at Bumble's S-1 and compares the Blackstone owned dating app with its biggest competitor, IAC/Match Group owned Tinder. Next, Alex breaks down if he's still bullish on Roblox now that its valuation has ballooned from $8 billion to almost $30 billion. The second half of the episode covers data on the number of new Amazon sellers from China and looks at how tech monopolies may be using moderation and censorship as a competitive moat.
