Grindr Ads

[Doe Be Doe]

Hi. Is it just me or has Grindr started showing a lot more ads? I don't seem to recall having to watch ads before. Any insight?

Thanks.

I use the free version, so I get a limited number of blocks.  When I use one, there's always a video that plays after I complete the block. I also get one if I unlock a profile via their Explore function, which also provides a limited number.  They've also splashed ads in the middle of the grid as you scroll.  They're making it as intrusive as possible so you break down and pay for the XTRA or Unlimited service, which I won't consider doing until they clean house of the bots and cat fishers who have proliferated the app and make the price more reasonable.

The dangers to us via hookup apps are far greater than the dangers of anonymous bookstore booths and glory holes back in the day.
