Grindr Is Awful!!

[+ Gar1eth]

I'm sure I'm not the only one to notice this. 
 

To clarify-I've been off most of the apps for months except Growlr, and I don't use Growlr much because while I'm an overweight bear, I'm not that much into overweight bears. 
 

But even before this several month break-I probably hadn't used Grindr very much in over a year. Why you ask-#1 the amount of ads is horrendous on a free account. 

#2) Whomever the original owners sold it to, they've made the premium features much too expensive for my budget. 
 

And it's sad because Scruff and Grindr were the apps with the handsomest guys in my area. Scruff is still useable, but I don't like the last few updates.

What was Grindr like back then? I’m picturing a green on black monochrome monitor with lines of all-caps text.

I had to use a hammer and chisel on a granite background.

I deleted it “permanently” when I would randomly get sound notifications from the app despite having the settings to not receive notifications.  Every time I have attempted to redownload it, I only last a few days due to a combination of the ridiculous number of bots and the fact that I have now become spoiled by the ease of hiring providers.

No, I thought back then it was called The Village Voice

I only go on Grindr if Sniffies is dead in a given location, mainly overseas.

With a voice that shouts out ..You've Got Mail!

I sometimes go home for the holidays to my po dunk family home in the stix. I'll turn on Grindr.   Country boy Gays be everywhere.  I imagine how life would've been  so different if i had that growing up
