Comments here nail it. Since a user can’t see who likes them without paying (but unlike the old days, traffic is now more like Match, another dead dating property), it’s now common that the number of new likes matches the number of new visitors. Voila, all of your visitors liked you! This “feature to help users” is a cynical ploy to shut down that strategy.

It seems like IAC is Computer Associates or Symantec of the dating world: It’s where old code goes to die. OKC has been “improved” so many times that statistically identical profiles show very different results when searching for a match, yet none of it is explained any more. A-List came out just before IAC bought OKC and it was on a roll at that point. Now, it’s just a bunch of married types running the show that don’t have a clue about being single and it shows.
