Political correctness. Hopefully there are copies around the web, those posts were very very interesting.
- dadrock 6y agoThis is correct. Too many people found the results of their collected date "problematic" so they scrubbed the web of them the best they could.
- atq2119 6y agoDo you actually have evidence of that? It seems at least equally likely that ownership changed and new management felt that keeping people in the dark about how dating sites work is better for business.

- goldenManatee 6y agoNot disagreeing, but I think calling it political correctness is actually granting those folks too much credit. It was people who were unqualified to process or understand the company’s findings chiming in with pop interpretations, just because they wanted to feel a part of what was supposed to be an intelligent conversation backed by data.
- gwern 6y agoThat doesn't explain the posts they edited to be less offensive.
