Grindr should separate in-person connection from passive adult-content browsing.

The mobile app could remain primarily focused on meeting, chatting, dating, and finding people nearby. Separately, Grindr could create an age-gated adult website with Instagram-style profile feeds or creator pages where users can post explicit photos, videos, and updates.

A user’s app profile could optionally link to their Grindr web feed. People who only want to view someone’s content could visit the feed without messaging them, requesting albums, or implying that they want to meet.

This would create two clearer experiences:
Grindr App: meeting, chatting, dating, and real-time availability
Grindr Adult Web: explicit feeds, followers, photos, videos, and passive browsing.

The website could work similarly to an adult creator profile, while the app remains useful for people who genuinely want interaction or an in-person meeting.

Right now, users looking to meet are mixed together with users who mainly want pictures, fantasy, or visual stimulation. Separating these purposes would reduce misleading conversations and make both experiences more honest and useful.
