okcupid was a perfect app before match bought them and ruined it.

That's exactly it. As soon as any dating app has significant traction, Match buys it out and Tinder-ifies it to extract more money from the userbase while coasting on the previous brand value.
It obviously wasn't perfect for the people running it, otherwise they wouldn't have sold it to their competitors.
