I don't think the average consumer of these products care who owns the sites as long as they are getting something they perceive as valuable or does what it is supposed to do in their eyes.
The only thing would be affecting your fuck market is if somehow they had consistent programming that intentionally keeps chicks from showing up on your searches, etc.
If anything large conglomerate would heavily advertise and thus doing one of the most important things needed out of these sites: consolidating people into one location. Since the value of the site mainly rests on it having a large group of active people.
One final thought is, yes some innovative company could come along with incredible matchmaking software that could be a game changer. Maybe that gets denied for a while. But if it is so amazing then one of these conglomerates would probably try to acquire it and put its full backing behind it.
I bet the reason IAC owns so many is to cannibalize from itself and prevent others from taking customers away. Customers think they are switching to a better site but Barry still has them as a customer.
