Yes, IAC's Match Group (Tinder, Match, PlentyOfFish, OKCupid...) seems to be where these things end up. IAC is the huge Internet company that gets little attention. They have over a hundred major web sites, which they run successfully, but don't try to make into one giant brand.

Publishing an advocacy magazine, with a paid editorial staff, was strange for a for-profit company. The article's main criticism of the new management seems to be that they focused on the core business of the company.
