Using Grindr used to be a pleasant experience, but you selling out to advertisers at the expense of your users has put this app at the bottom of the gay dating app totem pole for me. I cannot check or send messages, or even view profiles without having to waste 15 seconds or more reading forced advtertising. It's not even one 5 second ad you're forcing us to watch; it redirects and redirects until it finally freezes., so after all that I am still forced to close the app. It's equally as annoying to close the app and reopen it just to avoid your incessant ads. I understand you need revenue, but this is not the way. You need to seriously do better if you want to remain in the game. You are not a monopoly.
