What's with the monetization of super fat and super skinny people?
a friend and I who are both on grindr were talking about our experiences on the app and they were talking about how they don't get a lot of attention because they're fat, and I at first boiled it down to fatphobia/body shaming, and out of curiosity I used the weight filter and put in 300+ lbs minimum to see if my friend would come up, and the results automatically switched to XTRA/Unlimited and I couldn't see my friend's account unless I paid a monthly premium. We tried the same thing with a low maximum weight and it did the same thing. By no means am I a chubby chaser or have stupid expectations for how much someone should or shouldn't weigh, but it's weird and arguably discriminatory to make some peoples' dating profiles harder to access on the basis of their weight. sounds like grindr is trying to make a buck off of weight fetishists instead of giving over or underweight people a fair chance at being seen, and that's not okay!
