Awesome to hear feedback from the source.
I don't think there's anything terrible about taking down the post to be polite.
I also don't think that OKCupid (or match.com) are to blame. I'm just kind of musing about this sort of tiny-giant paradox generally. The internet lets people make great things on small budgets, which means big thing can exist with small business models. Magnitude of revenue does not necessarily equal magnitude of impact, but if the first is a lot smaller then the second, they're a target for these neutralising acquisitions.
