No. Just, no. I hate this. Visitors is how I KNOW who’s interested. I’m not going to shell out for the premium services, which we all know is the REAL reason you are doing this. NO ONE I know starts with messages. EVERYONE starts with the likes, which the free users can only tell with the VISITORS. This is clearly a money grab, you have devolved yourself to the other “pay-to-play” sites, and I am SEVERELY disappointed. If you do not bring back the visitors option, I will be forced to leave this site, permanently, and recommend to all others in my social group that they seek a site other than OkCupid to try and find people. Not only my own social group, but I will go out of my way to make others aware that you are now a “pay-to-play” site. I honestly could not be more disappointed. Trying to say that you did it to “help” people is one of the biggest cop-outs I’ve ever heard. You can, and WILL, lose traffic to this. Fire whoever suggested this, and get on with your commercial business like a web company should; through advertisement. If you’re set on this course? Congratulations. You’re just as horrible as everyone else now. Thus dies a hope in a weary world.
