<b>Push traffic is dead for dating</b>

Myth: "Subscriber bases are exhausted and bot-ridden — the chats declared push dead two years ago."

Push isn't dead, it's stratified, and people who quit were buying the wrong inventory. The cheap remnant push pools genuinely are exhausted and bot-stuffed — those died. But fresh in-page push and the newer subscriber cohorts on quality sources still convert dating fine because the format matches the impulse: a notification about a message or a match maps perfectly onto the dating frame.

The affiliates who say push is dead are usually the ones who never segmented by subscriber age. A push subscriber's value decays predictably — the first 7 days after opt-in convert several times better than day-90 subscribers. If your source doesn't let you target by subscriber freshness, you're buying everyone's leftovers and calling the channel dead.

In-page push also sidesteps the bot problem of classic push because it fires on real site sessions, not a sold-and-resold permission list.

Reality: push didn't die, the cheap exhausted inventory did — and that's a sourcing failure dressed up as a channel obituary.
