Nice Try of the Day: It was announced today that commercial dating service Match.com ponied up $50 million to buy out free dating website OkCupid. Their first order of business? Scrub OkCupid’s popular blog post “Why You Should Never Pay For Online Dating,” which starts: “Today I’d like to show why the practice of paying for dates on sites like Match.com and eHarmony is fundamentally broken,” and ends: “So next time you hear Match or eHarmony talking about how huge they are, you should do like I do and think of Goliath—and how he probably bragged all the time about how much he could bench. Then you should go sign up for OkCupid.”
Oooooof.
Despite Match.com’s penchant toward revisionism, the Internet is still the Internet, and you can read the article here (or here, if the cache gets pulled).
