We’re all just guinea pigs in the great social media experiment of life.
In a post today on their long-dormant OkTrends blog called "We Experimented on Human Beings!," OkCupid co-founder and data scientist Christian Rudder admits that the site has been performing studies on users without their knowledge.
"But guess what, everybody: if you use the Internet, you're the subject of hundreds of experiments at any given time, on every site. That's how websites work," Rudder wrote.
He also argued to BuzzFeed writer Charlie Warzel that he's "not playing God."
So what exactly were these experiments?
