  1. CW: dating

    My #OkCupid Premium subscription has ended on Monday.

    Yesterday, on Tuesday, 5 people liked my profile (but seeing who did is a Premium feature) and several sent me an intro (which is basically a like with an attached message).

    That's way more than I got in an average _month_.

    This means two things:

    1) The algorithm prioritizes OkCupid's revenue and "getting me back" over actual matchmaking.

    2) If you want your profile shown to way more people than usual, cancel your subscription.

  3. Match auf #OkCupid gerade. Wir unterhalten uns nett und sie hat wohl auch ADHS.
    Kommt aber aus #Magdeburg und will dort nicht weg und ich kann perspektivisch nicht aus #Hannover weg.

    Ist eigentlich schon wieder zum scheitern verurteilt. 🙈🥺😫

  5. Amy Goodman is on Jon Stewart's podcast this week, and it's well worth a listen.

    My first TV interview about Match Group was on her show, and it was a live one, just a few hours after the Guardian article came out. If nothing else, it taught me not to do any live interviews again! Still, it was an interesting experience.

    Note how well I curate my background with neat bookshelves, showing a load of boring books that I think reflect my personality.

  7. I signed up for #OkCupid a week ago and it's nothing but scammers. Any woman that is semi attractive and me to chat on telegram after about three chat messages. Now, I know that real women are usually inundated with people messaging them, so I don't hold it against anyone if they don't message back, but it would be nice if, say, 1 in 20 were real and responded.

  27. Years ago I met a few local women via OKCupid. Now they're just dumping dozens of young women from Southeast Asia and Africa on me. WTF? Tell me you're totally enshittified without actually SAYING it, OKC!
