You charge users fees to not see ads, u are paid by advertisers to shove their crap in our faces. You then sell off user data to other information farmers. The person that seems to be shafted no matter what is the user. All of the social media apps and sites do the same crap. Lying and saying it’s the only way to keep the service free is to limit the functions of the product and bombarde your users with the typing of just 3 letters that damn upgrade pop up jumps out and of course it doubles so have to wait to close 2 that I won’t ever buy anyways so only thing you are accomplishing is making people like myself and others go deep into the codes and programs that Grindr runs on and partner with ecosia to make a copy and then take the restrictions off and have ever function availabie till she left
