@Riley Have you guys ever had a problem with someone scraping public OkCupid profiles?

[sosuke]

Starting a dating site with fake or scraped profiles just makes it a ghost town. New members would leave quickly before you built up a real user base.

Not if you have bots messaging new members from fake accounts, and/or having them respond to queries.

Well, they'll still leave quickly, but they'll stay long enough for you to get their credit card info.
