Within the last 3-5 years they took a massive nosedive off the cliff and right into the "completely plunder our users" pool. They remove useful features that made it easier to find a partner you're interested in and they all copied tinders "success" by removing what set them apart in favor of all being identical "swipe only" apps.

Some sites even delved further into the depths of their sales teams depravity and added streaming functions so now you have sites like POF where there's an entire ecosystem of people that are only there to stream and make money off of desperate guys...

It became a disgusting money gab and unfortunately for me as I don't have local options to meet people, I've backed out. I'd say if you're not a super desirable person then save yourself the headache/heartache and just avoid them.
