I appreciate Grindr's support with regards towards racial inequality and injustices -- I really do. It's an important issue that needs to be addressed, and companies should be applauded for taking a meaningful stance.
But, I cancelled my premium subscription today because the app no longer lets me filter by the guys I would like to see.
I'm kind of confused by this change, to be honest. I know many Asian men who only want to date other Asian men, or many Latino men who feel that they'd prefer to date men who come from a similar background. Removing that filter makes the app objectively less effective in allowing users to filter profiles based on their established preferences.
This change won't influence the end game of any man who wants to date men of the ethnicity he wants to -- so really the change only hurts the end user and as a result, this quite honestly feels like a virtue signal rather than a product enhancement in line with social responsibility.
Best of luck, but I won't be subscribing going forward.
