Why do we still use Grindr?
So Grindr has gotten worse day by day…
really glitchy. lots of features don’t work as expected. Like cannot see taps realtime. Then they had an outage for albums recently.
advertising. This company has gotten so greedy that they are advertising every 5mins with their 30sec to 2mins long advertising. You just have to wait
existing features now being put under subscriptions, now you cannot see taps after 4hrs Geometry Dash Lite. So basically you get a tap, then you cannot see who tapped you because it is now a subscription feature.
As a product Grindr is so bad and we are still using it? Scruff is so much better as a product but the number of users is far lower and thus lower “hit rate”. I have not used other apps since I think the adoption/coverage is much lower.
I know Grindr is a business but their subscriptions are not cheap either. And for what? A glitchy free product makes me trust them lesser

It’s wild how many apps end up feeling unusable over time — more ads, more bugs, more features locked behind paywalls — and yet people stay simply because the user base is huge and alternatives don’t offer the same reach. That “stuck with it” feeling shows up in gaming too, which is why some players look for lighter, more straightforward options when they just want something quick and functional. On platforms like https://1win-aviator-game.net/ the Aviator game keeps things simple: you open the site, the round starts, the multiplier rises, and it’s all about your timing. No cluttered menus, no paywalls hiding basic features — just a fast, reactive experience that you can jump into for a few seconds whenever you need a break from apps that have become way more frustrating than they should be.
