Considering OKCupid's slogan for a while was "always free", I highly doubt that they will switch to a pay-to-use model.

Correct. They will likely use the Nerve/SpringStreet/AdultFriendFinder model of ruining the free options so that the pay ones look attractive.

But match.com might still ruin the site by trying too hard with the upsell.
