Don'take the mistake of thinking Grindr cares about the community. They're a company that saw an unexploited market demographic and capitalized on it. That's all they are.
Yes, I realize that. However, they don't even care about their image. Why don't they care about their image and how the people who use their app see them? Perhaps the people who continue to use their app are either A) indifferent or B) uninformed. I went out last night and talked about this situation (you know, at the LGBTQ bar where all we LGBTQ people go) and I got a lot of indifferent attitudes about it. I got an equal number of attitudes that expressed concern, but some of them expressed concern as they were checking their Grindr notifications on their phones. I think it's time for us - the ones who care - to band together and burn it down.
Probably both. As long as folks get what they want (dinner, sex, maybe a cuddle) they tend not to think too much about how the company behind it all treats people. Just like a lot of folks order from Amazon frequently but don't think too much about how the delivery drivers and warehouse folks are treated.
Yes, I know all of this already. It doesn't mean I should shut my mouth.
On the contrary, it means more of us who do care should speak up

Well, thank you. You made my day.
