THANK YOU Okcupid, I always got hugely distracted by the people visiting my profile. Of course, I could switch off the visitors option before but I guess that was not as beneficial for me stupid user as removing it from my control completely. So considerate of you guys…
But without irony: Don’t bullsh** your users, OkCupid. I hate it when companies change a product, clearly to make more money or get better stats and then sell it to the users as if they did it for them! That’s super sleazy and I am disappointed to see OkCupid use this tactic. Yes, I do believe by removing this option you are speculating on getting more A-List-Subcribers, which will be the only way to see who visited and liked you, probably you are also hoping for more messaging and swiping taking place to have better numbers to show in a board meeting. I guess nobody in that meeting cares about the visiting-KPIs — all that counts are interactions, swipes, likes and matches. Good luck with your new strategy by pissing off your users.
