Too many Fake Bot Accounts
Using Grindr has become increasingly frustrating. Despite paying for an Unlimited membership at $40/month, the overwhelming number of fake bot profiles has made the app nearly unusable. At this point, it feels like 90% of the interactions I receive are from bots rather than real people.
Considering the premium cost, this makes the service feel extremely poor in value. It’s disheartening to pay for features that are overshadowed by fake accounts and spam interactions. What should be an enjoyable and social experience has instead become exhausting and disappointing.
I hope Grindr takes stronger action to reduce the prevalence of fake/bot accounts. Otherwise, it’s hard to justify maintaining a paid subscription under these conditions.

I agree. There is zero point in subscribing for a membership with the number of bots.
Grindr "implemented AI" which has not helped the app but made it worse.
I'm canceling my membership and most likely uninstalling.

Fake bot accounts have become a serious issue on many social platforms, especially for paying users expecting genuine interactions and better moderation. Stronger verification systems, smarter spam detection, and identity validation could greatly improve user trust and overall experience. Similar online verification workflows used in tools like https://cfcalcolo.com can help reduce fake activity and improve platform reliability.

Dude Grindr is either complicit in all these fake spammers and bots being on the app, either by allowing them to be on the app and doing nothing to remove them or by pulling another “Ashley Madison” and actually putting the bots in the app themselves or they are incompetent when it comes to removing and preventing spammers and bots from being on the app! I myself think they are complicit. Either way there needs to be a class action law suit or something because with how much this app cost we should not be dealing with the amounts of spammers and bots that are on it!

I totally agree. I just paid $190 dollars for a 6 month unlimited plan and i get fake SOOOO many fake bot ads messaging me or clicking the flame icon. In larger cities it's sooo hard to tell the fake ones until you reply and only to get a sign up to my OF account ad. I regret paying this much for sooooo many fake ads.

The bot issue is really frustrating. It makes me think about how important verification is - just like how firstresponderhomeprograms.com verifies home loan programs to filter out scams. Grindr really needs a proper verification system too.

I totally agree, the number of bot accounts has become unbearable lately. It’s frustrating when you're looking for genuine connections and keep hitting automated scripts. I was actually trying to report a suspicious profile that kept sending me weird links earlier; I ended up accidentally clicking one that looked like an web series sex and it redirected me to https://xxxbp.tv/x/hindi-sex-web-series at before I could close the tab. The developers really need to implement better verification steps to keep the community safe.

Definitely check out https://stake1.ng/ I’ve been using it for both sports betting and casino games, and I’m really happy with it. It’s licensed in Nigeria, which is super important for me when betting online. The platform offers a great range of sports to bet on, including football, basketball, and tennis. I also love their casino section — lots of exciting games. The iOS app works perfectly, and I’ve never had issues with withdrawals. Plus, customer support is always quick to help. It’s definitely a site you can trust in Nigeria.

If the admins would just admit that they are the ones behind most of the OF subscription entreaties at least that would take away some of the frustration /anger regarding being bombarded by ads.
Recently I've been getting a lot of blank profile inquiries that, when clicked on, take me immediately to an advertisement. Who else but an admin could achieve that?
Just admit it and you'll defuse a lot of the anger & frustration!! -

For crying out loud, even the comments section on a post about fucking bots is littered with fucking bots. Grindr, sort your shit out
