    I read an article in the university newspaper recently and it seems like a significant number of young people are deciding to ditch dating apps for those reasons. So it's not just you or people on this website.

      OkCupid wasn't that bad prior to, like, 2008-2009, when they started getting really scummy with the matching algorithm. Met some interesting people on there, including my spouse.

      The "main" personality test was at least slightly better than astrology, because it would classify people based on how likely they were to behave like a self-centered ass as one if its dimensions.

      But yeah, it went to shit when they had to turn an actual profit.

      Are they? Good. I was beginning to fear they had become more commonplace with young people. Dating apps and sites went from something you were ashamed to admit to because it made you a loser to nearly everyone having tried it at least once.
