I truly despised the Madonna "takeover." I pay $300 a year for Grindr Unlimited features and do not use the app to have a music advertisement crammed down my throat. I found the promotion intrusive, invasive and obnoxious. It ate up screen real estate, and the hot pink app launch icon was a monstrosity. (I temporarily used a "discreet" icon, which I disliked, but felt it was the lesser of evils forced on me.)

I am a member of the LGBTQ community and I find it ironic that after decades of fighting against gay stereotypes, I am stereotyped as the gay cliche haunting the dance clubs and looking for yet another Madonna album to add to my collection. I respect Madonna's unfailing support of the LGBTQ community, but selling her product has no place as a paid premium feature on a dating app. Grindr Presents is way off target.

You need to get back to the business of improving the app, not selling records.
