This Grindr experience is pretty gated and strange. Not all of us have extra money to waste on your app. You would probably make more if your prices were less. Idk I haven't been on grindr in a few years. I'm starting to think I wasn't really missing anything except for the rude comments and narcissistic personality disorder abusers ebeded as an obstacle to achieving one's goal. Personaly. There's no way I'm paying money for the garbage. I'm sure the logic is pay for it and the ads disappear. Well some of us aren't all rich like you and Trump. Anyways the whole grindr experience is being great diminished by the roadblocks and that's a shame! I think that's why it least like the concept of sniffies. It's a start! But I think I can create something even better and bring the price down to a more honest cost while still making a profile! The name of it will be coming soon. Evolve or die right? Greed is selfish and not a sustainable path. It always ends badly throughout history yet we still haven't figured it out. Because it consumes everything and leaves nothing for the future which is still coming but are we ready? I doubt it. Thus another reason I can't afford grindr. The emotional scaring these platforms can cause people and the pain of abusing the system. Is still on you and the culture created from it. More ads are only chasing potential customers to other platforms due to prices in the Trump economy. With each commercial I experience on your app. It makes me want to switch apps and stop using this annoying one called grindr. It's just not worth the $$. So many fakes and duds I'm like duck this shit! Notice I didn't swear. Thanks for listening/reading have a good day! :-)
