Ask HN: Why don't we bring back old school OkCupid?

2•firefax•48m ago
Trademark issues aside... why do we do this swipe culture crap?

Old school OkCupud was darkly beautiful because it told you your best match was -- who cares if they're a mafia princess or work down at the cloud factory or simply have other suitors ;-)

What is stopping someone, aside from patents, from making a match based dating site to compete with the current market?

Nothing, just The Match Group buying everything as soon as it becomes popular and incentivizing keeping people using the apps over successful long-term matches.

Because people were less cynical in the 2010s and there's no way to bring that back.
