Grindr wants €500/month for AI features. That's €6,000/year. For that money, you could hire a professional escort weekly—with champagne money left over. At least an escort provides actual human touch. Grindr provides algorithmic exploitation. The math is insulting.
Grindr isn't "evolving." It's dying. Slowly suffocated by extraction-focused investors who forgot you need users to have a platform. The thousands leaving daily are just ahead of the curve.
If you're still on Grindr, you're funding the investors who destroyed gay dating apps. Thousands have left. The water's fine. Dive in. #killgrindr
They thought we'd pay forever because we had no alternatives. They were wrong. The migration happening now—thousands daily—is proof we'll choose community over convenience every time. #killgrindr
We gave them feedback. We reported bugs. We asked for features. They gave us paywalls and ads. The mass exodus isn't abandonment—it's the only message they'll understand.
Before investors: Free core features, active development, community focus After investors: Subscription traps, neglected app, profit extraction The result: Thousands leaving daily.
Grindr's investors don't use the app. Don't know queer culture. Don't care about community safety. They care about returns. That's why thousands leave daily for platforms built by people who actually get it. #killgrindr
