Profiles, ads, and pricing..
So this is a multilayered list of things that really grind my gears, no pun intended. The amount of ads after viewing one of the 25 profiles available to the non-paying folk is outrageous. Really? Because we are not subscribing to your overpriced plans we get to only freely message around 25-30 guys in our immediate area? And then, when we do click on one of those profiles, we are immediately directed to a candy crush ad or ad for prep that lasts for 3 minutes if we don’t close the app and reopen it. I understand how ads work, but shouldn’t all have enough money in the bank to ease the ads on us “poor folk”? But if you must bombard us with ads, it still isn’t enough to convince me to “upgrade” to “Xtra” or “Unlimited”. Then you limit how many videos we can send? Limit us to only 1 expiring picture every 24 hours? Then we get to unlock 3 profiles for free on the explore page? Yippee. 🙄 Then if we think about upgrading, y’all charge $19.99 and $39.99 for Grindr Xtra and Grindr Unlimited, respectively. I would like to know how broke college dudes are expected to fit those prices into their budgets? I’m not one, but the fact that I have a full time job and still don’t think it’s worth upgrading should say something. Even during the pandemic y’all never let up on proving? And what’s with this “boost” your profile for $9.99? You expect us to pay $9.99 to boost our profile for 1 hour? Yes this is a rant. Check your ratings on the app stores. But I guess since the top .01% of rich gay dudes are subscribers, y’all don’t care with the other 99.99% of us have to say…
