Do something about the fakes and scammers!
There are a ridiculous amount of fake/spam profiles on Grindr! One of the most prevalent ones that I’ve seen are supposed dominant trans women looking for subs. They use pictures pulled from the internet, usually of popular trans performers (I’ve confirmed this through Google image searches, and even reaching out to one on Reddit), and the insist on people who contact them introduce themselves with their name, age, location, job, and other potentially identifying information. I have been scammed before (not on Grindr) where they threatened to release my personal photos and identifying information unless I sent them money. And it’s not just profiles posing as trans women, I’ve been solicited by profiles posing as men, too. Grindr needs to do SOMETHING to protect its users from potential fraud! Implement a profile verification mechanism, block devices that have been reported repeatedly (I’ve personally reported and blocked numerous profiles multiple times. How are they allowed to keep making new profiles?!). Jesus tap-dancing Christ, with all the highly intrusive ads and ridiculously high subscription costs, ya’ll make enough money to make this app safer for everyone, and it’s just irresponsible of you not to at this point!
