Tl;dr — Less ads, less noise.

I know that Grindr has to make a profit, and that the business model revolves around encouraging subscriptions or serving ads.

That's the thing, though. Your ad balance is way, way off. I shouldn't have to wait for 1:30 while an extremely loud ad plays, only to have it repeat a message later.

You have two huge problems: firstly, the sheer quantity of ads is staggeringly out of proportion; secondly, the type of shockingly loud, long ads is not only annoying... it's potentially dangerous. After an ad shocked me with its volume, I developed a migraine.

Seriously, Grindr. You can figure out a better system. Right now, your model is way out of balance.
