Bots & Spam
I have cancelled my subscription to Grindr many times. What brings me back, of course, is the extremely rare chance that I may actually MEET someone. For fun, ***, friendship, whatever. What drives me away frequently are all the Bots who respond to my profile. I mean, who falls for this stuff? Any time any handsome, young, far-away lad IMs me, I assume they aren't real. They've gotten clever. They ask for my phone #. They insist they ARE real. What is the point of all this? Does Grindr profit in some way from FAKE profiles?
It's too much. It's a waste of time and energy. I would NEVER pay to subscribe to this service. If it's not bots, it's suffering through ads for ridiculous video games and apps. What a waste. I feel dirty.
