Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but OKC went down the tubes because it was bought by the same company that owns tinder (match I believe?). They actually own many of the dating apps at this point.

Match Group. Pretty much an evil conglomerate of dating apps.

Yep, they own like 25 of the major apps. I even tried match.com around 2016, thinking it would be better than the apps since it was the OG, but nope, same shit just without the swiping, and it costs astronomically more.
