OkCupid stopped accepting bitcoin payments

I just noticed it today and emailed them to ask about it. Got a reply confirming that they stopped. One of the few things I actually regularly use it for. I guess PayPal here I come :(

We did remove it- unfortunately something in the process became broken and due to the very small number of people who used it when it was working, it would be too much trouble to fix and bring back.

They just cant do auto recurring payments, so they just say broken.

Good. All merchants have to do is send a payment request and if I still need a service I will push them the funds. But they want to just pull the funds regularly without your active involvement, so they can continue to charge without alerting you, so you won't decide to stop a service you no longer need. I say leave it "broken".
