A lot of people would pay to get the history of their exchanges on a dating site. You don't realize when you close your account that you're also losing all the history of how you met - at the time it's more of a celebration of "job done" and demonstration of commitment.

I understand why it all vanishes (the privacy concerns are non-trivial, storage isn't free), but it would be worth almost any price when the 5/10/20 year anniversaries roll around.

After our third date, my now-wife and I decided to delete our online dating accounts. I had the foresight to screenshot/download her profile and our messages, but I forgot to capture my own. Oh well!
