I’m sorry, but as just about everyone everywhere is telling you, this is a plain daft idea. It is removing a valuable layer of functionality from OKCupid. ‘Visitors’ was a low-level sign of interest which both parties can choose to pursue, or not. A glance of the eyes in a crowded nightclub if you like. It’s much more akin to a real-life interaction where not everyone initially wants to go in with trumpets blaring and lights flashing. Removing ‘Visitors’ dumbs down, and removes subtlety from, OKCupid interaction. If you read, and listen to, your users there is a pretty unanimous message emerging….WRONG WAY! GO BACK!
