Bonehead business decision...

Im not going to beat around the bush with this review. For the past couple of years, OkCupid has been the dating service that Ive used most. Ive even subscribed to their "A-List" service. This site has been slowly going downhill for a while now, but this decision to remove the ability to see who has visited your profile and which profiles you have visited is unfathomably stupid. Heres why. A visitors section shows an initial interest from other people and can influence an interaction. The people in this list could be great matches, but mightve normally been otherwise unseen due to someones set match preferences. In addition, some people might not feel confident about sending a first message and may be more comfortable waiting for the other person to initiate a conversation. Its already well known that seeing who has liked your profile is a feature hidden behind the pay wall of the sites premium A-List service. Thus, this questionable decision ultimately ends up feeling like a sad attempt to try and force users into buying the A-List package. Honestly, Ive always thought it would be a better idea if they allowed non-premium users to unlock a profile or two a day from their "liked me" list while giving A-List users access to everyone on that list immediately. This would force non-premium users to focus more on the users that they can see. But I digress, I have not seen one positive response about removing the visitors section and its pretty apparent that most users are upset by it. To the developers, listen to your subscribers and remedy this mistake before you end up losing a significant portion of us.
