There is an unstated implication that negligence doesn't happen twice.

I'd sooner assume the membership count comprises bots and repeat throwaway/voyeur accounts.

it wasn't that customers came back, aspiring women noticed the gap in the market from the data leaks and chose to be sex workers, replacing the sock puppet users with real women. the hack and leak was a blessing in disguise for ashley madison.

this is already reported but once you leave the corporate sex worker exclusionary echo chamber it becomes more obvious how efficient that market is, from the supply side

it would alter most of your assumptions and make a lot of things more obvious without needing to be “studied”
