It is clear that Grindr, like any other, venture must be financed, with contributions from users, with advertising, ... It's ok if a user who can't or doesn't want to pay sees ads, but please not always the same stupid games, and for ages. This is neither in the sense of the user, nor for the advertisers (this is anti-advertising), and therefore not in the sense of Grindr. Sometimes there are 3 or even 0 profiles for me to open? I can not even open a profile of someone who has visited my profile. Thus, even paying users, fall around a contact of the non-paying user. 1 minute in the app and you have read felt 100 hints to pay for Grindr. It's just so obvious that it's not about making money with advertising or to solicit contributions and inform about the benefits, for this 10% would be enough. It's obviously about permanently terrorizing the non-paying users until they pay. Only, attention, if you pay the XTRA (after all 19.99 per month), then the terror continues. I have therefore unsubscribed from XTRA and will only pay again when the terror stops. If he becomes too bad for me, I will avoid Grindr komlett. And this is written by someone who is a member of Planetromeo, and was a paying member of Grindr for years to enable the existence of these platforms, voluntarily, out of conviction, triggered by one or another advantage.
