OK Cupid has (had?) both ads and an ad-free A-list subscription package. However, I doubt either of those were their primary sources of income. OKC has an extremely robust survey platform baked into their question and answer system. I suspect that the demographic and market analysis data is extremely valuable and that selling it to advertisers, consumer packaged goods companies, etc. would be very lucrative.
