First off anyone in tech knows that Microsoft has always been somewhat shady. Ties to the NSA, Proprietary formats, Changing formats with versions (office). Windows 10 is no different what Microsoft does is generally makes aesthetic changes and a few tweaks and calls it a new product. Their methods are nothing short of Draconian.
I have fixed countless computers of friends, family, and coworkers because of unwanted windows 10 upgrades. Broken drivers, Computers upgraded that are not 100% supported, meaning that with Windows 7 everything worked and with Windows 10 some things cannot work because there is no supporting software to make them work. Microsoft lost market share to Apple/Mac and some people defected to Linux. People are tired of getting bullied by Microsoft with all their lies and scams, licensing schemes and etc. Rumors of a "Software By Subscription" that may or may not be applied to the consumer market. It seems that companies Like Microsoft and Google (think chrome browser) just keep taking away choice from the consumers and jamming half baked software on the consumers. Windows 10 and Google Chrome have something in common UGLY user interfaces that can barely be customized at all. People should avoid ALL Microsoft and Google software and products. Both companies are all about money and they are both evil.

After signing up for match.com and paying for a 6 month subscription I started using the site.
First I went through all the various settings.
Second I went to turn off the "auto renew activation".
To Disable auto-renew do the following
Step-1 hover over the gear icon next to your picture on top of the page, click settings
Step-2 click cancel subscription, go through the prompts ending in deactivating the account.
Step-3 close the web page and clear the internet history in the browser
Step-4 log back on to your account, it will prompt you to reactivate (this means auto renew) CLICK NO - this is where they are deceiving you, because you paid for the subscription and still have whatever amount of time you paid for with full functionality.
Step-5 repeat Step-1 and click subscription status it should now say inactive.

To be 100% sure Call your Bank and get a new Card Number. This way these dishonest people cannot get more of your money.

There are a lot of fake profiles with women supposedly 29 years old and they use the same woman's pic for numerous fake profiles, it's easy to spot. Then you have the free users who's subscription ran out or they did not pay, those people are quick to take you to outside email or some other form of chat communication. How do you know they are not one of the scammers? Match does nothing about this. Why? Because the free accounts and scammers are generating traffic on the website that is "Producing Advertisement Revenue". So basically paying customers are getting screwed in several different ways. Then you have the same women on there for YEARS. No Man will ever do or those profiles are fake as well. It's crazy you have chubby single moms with a career and a house and suddenly their standards become so insane and exacting that you wonder if these women live in reality or not. My main concern here though is the questionable business practices going on with match, purposely programming things to be confusing and in that confusion people get clipped with a "Renewed Subscription" that they did not want and there is No Refunds. Best bet is to call your debit card or credit card provider a month before the subscription runs out and ask for a new card with a new number. Many of these websites are owned by IAC they own POF, Match, Our Time, and probably more.
As soon as I sent match an email pointing out everything I noticed, suddenly the scam winks slowed to almost zero and suddenly my profile began "Acting Up" every time I would edit the text it would come back different than what I typed in after "They Approved It" / "Altered It". Before I spoke up the profile editor worked fine.

Also be aware that when you sign up there is a check box that says "Share Your Profile With Our Affiliated Dating Sites?"
Bingo! This is why you see so many of the same faces on so many Dating Sites.

The best advice I can give is to stay away from online dating, most of the companies are not honest and most of the people there are either playing, cheating, scamming and more. And NO this is NOT Hating this is the TRUTH.

I created a profile with a lengthy well thought out dialog. Browsed the sight for an hour and then "Please Log In". Come to find out the account was deleted. Registered a second time with the same email and username and the same thing browse for an hour and then "Please Log In" the account was deleted for a second time. There are thousands of negative reviews with deleted accounts and people that paid to "Upgraded" and had their account deleted essentially stealing their money. So if they create another account then they have to pay again, only to have the profile deleted again. A huge Red Flag should be the lack of Customer Service emails or Phone numbers they are hard to find or are non existent. There is also race and age discrimination going on. Another thing is if you get blocked too many times they delete your profile. I browsed several profiles and sent no messages so I wonder if those women all just hit the block button causing a deleted profile. Stay away from POF their terms and rules are absurd, the deleting of profiles Is pathetic.
I read a review that said Markus the founder of POF gets paid 30 bucks each time someone registers, that's a great incentive to program the site to auto delete certain profiles. It seems a lot of online dating sites are using scam techniques and what's called scraping of other websites. That's why you see the same females on about every dating site available. I highly doubt that many ladies are going to sign up for 8 dating sites, it's more like one site gets scraped and the fake profiles get created. Also watch out when you register on certain websites like POF because there will be an option that says "By signing up for POF you agree to sign up for our partner websites" again shady. Really a lack of ethics and overall scumbag tactics. I also read that if you create your profile through your smart phone using Mobile Data (Not Wifi) then magically the profile does not get deleted.
