I met a few friends and two ex-girlfriends on OKC and, after returning to online dating recently, I am shocked by how garbage it has become. It definitely used to be a community / social network where conversations were less casual and more in-depth.
It wasn't even elitist or anything, it's just straight up you would actually talk with someone and find out a lot about them before meeting up. Now it's… ergh. Now it's Tinder with a couple of slightly different features.
Does anything like the old OKC still exist? I remember there were a lot of alternatives even back then that were trying to be niche-oriented but AFAIK they all died to make room for OKC.
