Removing essential features?!

For a guy, online dating is already a difficult process. We have to fight against so many other men, put enormous effort into our profiles and messages to stand out, and even then there is no promise we will find someone. Even worse, most men were forced into situations on dating sites to have to pay to continue using these sites, simply because we have so much competition.

OkCupid was able to excel above other dating sites by allowing people to see who visited your page, or turn it off to browse incognito. It was a saving grace compared to other dating sites which required you to pay just to know who even LOOKED at you.

But now, the "geniuses" behind OkCupid have decided to remove that feature, putting it in their "A list" paid subscription service. So now people like me not only dont know who liked us without paying, but now dont even know who visited us without paying?! Its bad enough women generally dont message first, but now its almost impossible to find a match without paying. This is already on top of spammy ads, mind you.

And the worst part is the devs response to this. Their official response that you can read to multiple reviews in complaint to this is that now people can browse incognito, with visitors removed. EXCEPT THAT WAS LITERALLY AN OPTION WE ALREADY HAD! There was literally a button you could press to browse incognito in your settings, if you didnt want to show up in peoples visitors section. And the devs have the GALL to try and claim removing a feature was for a new feature that was already in the site.

I cannot believe how downhill this app has gone. Its almost like they want to get rid of their customers, in order to make a very short term buck.

Shame on you, OkCupid. Shame on you.
