Same, I met a lot of people through old-school OKCupid. It was great.

Okcupid used to be good, before they sold out. Its where I met my partner. I was sad to hear it had enshittified.

I also met my partner on OKC. It was a great platform.

Yep, I met my partner through OKC just before they enshittified. I also had used it to meet folks when I travelled for work. I had a note on my profile that I travelled a lot and just wanted to see new cities and eat good food. Surprisingly, I had far more platonic meetups than creepy guys trying to hook up, which I stated I wasn’t looking for in my profile.
I was a very very early adopter of OKC. I remember when it was more of a social media website with quizzes and badges than just dating. I’m still friends with a few people I met there in the early days.
