A month after Facebook admitted to human experimenting, online dating site OkCupid revealed they were guilty of doing it too.
On the OkCupid company blog, Christian Rudder, one of the founders of the online dating site, revealed that they secretly experiment with members to find the best match for people.
"I'm the first to admit it: we might be popular, we might create a lot of great relationships, we might blah blah blah," Rudder wrote, according to E!Online . "But OkCupid doesn't really know what it's doing."
Rudder continued with suggesting that whoever uses the Internet is a victim of human experimenting.
"Most ideas are bad. Even good ideas could be better. Experiments are how you sort all this out…We noticed that people didn't like it when Facebook 'experimented' with their news feed. Even the FTC is getting involved," he said. "But guess what, everybody: if you use the Internet, you're the subject of hundreds of experiments at any given time, on every site. That's how websites work."
Although this might seem unethical, the online dating sites OKCupid, Tinder, Omegle, stresses that all their efforts go toward making sure their members can have the opportunity to find the perfect person for them.
