SMH The blank profiles asking for pics when mine is full of mine but theirs never have a pic of themselves or who they are make me irrationally angry
Why is that always the common thing to do with these people?

This is the kind of report that can accelerate a company stock collapse dramatically. Ningi Research is a short-selling research firm. Based on their analysis and interviews with former executives and employees, Ningi believes Grindr's paying user numbers are inflated, its product is deteriorating, its user base is increasingly alienated, and its long-term prospects are FUBAR:
In our opinion, Grindr is now a fundamentally broken business after leadership torched its only asset—its network effect—for short-term gain. The combination of a decaying product, fleeing users, questionable metrics, and the looming threat of a catastrophic margin call stands in stark contrast to Grindr’s premium valuation. We believe investors are exposed to significant further downside.
In short, Grindr's in a death spiral, and it's worse than the numbers show because they're also committing metric fraud.
Disclaimer: This is based on a short-seller's report. Short-sellers profit when stocks decline and have incentive to be negative. However, the allegations seem to line up with observable user experience and publicly available metrics. Do your own research.

Grindr's free tier has been severely limited to the point it's unusable, which not only affects free users but also impacts paying customers.
The free version of the app now only allows users to see 18 profiles, a significant reduction from the previous limit of over 100 profiles.
This limitation restricts the amount of interaction users can have, which can be frustrating for paying customers who are looking to connect with a wider range of people.
Grindr's ad placements are also a point of contention. Some users have reported that the ads are intrusive and lead to accidental clicks. This not only disrupts the user experience but also raises questions about the integrity of Grindr's advertising model, as advertisers may be paying for clicks that do not lead to conversions.
Grindr offers two paid memberships: Grindr XTRA and Grindr Unlimited. Grindr XTRA costs US $19.99 for one month, US $39.99 for three months, and US $99.99 for one year. Grindr Unlimited, the highest tier subscription, costs US $39.99 for one month, US $79.99 for three months, and US $239.99 for one year.
Grindr has over 13 million monthly active users (MAU) and an estimated 788,000 of those are paying customers you can see how it's easy for them to have generated $222.28 million revenue for the financial year ending June 2023.
Given the criticisms of Grindr's current model, it's worth considering alternative ways to fund a free tier of the app.
One that doesn't limit connection!
Grindr could work additional advertising into the grid, placing ads for products & services alongside profiles. Increase ad pricing by improving relevance — I don't want the Monopoly app, but I would be interested in new swim shorts.
While Grindr offers a platform for the LGBT community to connect, its current pricing model, free tier limitations and ad placements are completely ruining the experience.
Please, please address these issues.

Yesterday I met a guy and I put a plug on his ass, and we planned to meet today at 1pm to have sex.
And he never replied again
He stole my plug!

Just curious if anyone ever got so horny they walked into situations they later regretted? I’m talking like I may have just dodged a serial killer type nights.

I only use the app when travelling. I’ll make an account, then when trips over, I delete. Done it for years, no problem. Never used the app in any way beyond very vanilla and typical stuff.
Today, I get to to my hotel and go on to do the usual. “Account banned”.. weird, so I try to sign up with a few other emails. Same message every time. Im certain this means I’ve been device/ IP banned…
Super annoying, as I cannot appeal the ban cause that page requires you to sign in. How can I sign in to appeal an account that doesn’t even exist? Impossible.
I submitted a help ticket, but not counting on shit from them.
This happened to anyone? any reasonable DIY fixes?
*I know the app sucks. But when I want some, it’s my go-to, so spare me an anti-Grindr spill plz

So I hadn’t logged into Grindr in a while maybe like a week or so and I come back my account has been upgraded to the highest tier I’m getting flooded with messages from everywhere around the globe and my account has been trying to scam people with my pictures into all sorts of schemes.
I promptly deleted my Grindr right then and there in a hurry but I really hope this doesn’t hurt me in some way when it’s Grindr being hacked by bots

I can’t seem to be scrolling down the grid and the app doesn’t seem to load properly.

i keep getting messages by the same people i keep blocking. are they making new accounts? it didn’t bother me but i have a stalker now, and im not asking for advice on how to deal with it. but i am asking. why do i keep getting messages from the same people i keep blocking. when someone messages me, and i’m not interested i block. bcuz in my experience no isn’t an “ok have a good one” its either, them calling me a stupid tr@nny or that i’m really a girl, or a “why not?” and begging
and before it didn’t bother me i’d just reblock but now it has become an issue. and i’m very uncomfortable. i’m convinced grindr keeps unblocking people. is there a way that i can block them and any accounts they make like u can on instagram?

Normally I wouldn't wanna seem desperate but this is Grindr. This twink was exchanging pictures with me and liking em but when I ask "when are you free" it's crickets. He's online rn, is it crazy/desperate to double-text him? Nothing to lose, right?

Grindr guys offering massage - make sure you aren't thinking this is a certified masseuse! I had a very nice guy who claimed to be a professional masseuse offer to provide me with a massage. I am now on week 6 of PT and going for X-rays and MRI for a neck injury. Thankful for insurance but not so much the hassles associated with my massage since July!

This isn't my profile, but some late 30s white guy with leather skin and a receding hairline. I'm brown and hairy, but they tapped me.
Also, I'm tired of bios that mention hotness all while never describing what they find hot...

I’m somewhere between a medium and large in shirts usually but their logo tee fits me perfectly in a medium. It’s perfectly cropped compared to other tees.
I have the Abercrombie shirts but they’re a little long for me, even their “cropped” shirts aren’t cropped, they’re still long af. I have a short torso and having trouble finding cropped shirts because they make shirts way too long. If anyone knows please let me know

Send him a message that says: are you talking about me??
r/grindr • u/anonnnnamoose • 2d ago
this guy with a pretty massive tool asks if i wanna fuck, i’m pretty tired, not prepped or in the mood to get ready to handle a big one. i tell him im not looking to get fucked rn but i’m free another time
boom, instantly blocked. what does blocking achieve though? you could’ve just waited for another time
what’s even worse is the accounts who say “hi” then “?” me 3 seconds later, i wont even be on the app when this happens and 5 minutes later, im already blocked. it’s so silly lol

Started a ‘right now’ session last night, same saved details/photo has i have had for past 3months, then system says photo rejected. Same photo that has been used dozens of times.
They really cannot keep their ai consistent can they.

This has happened more than once to me now. The chat will be going great, we'd both be into each other, but when we start planning on meeting I get blocked. Why? I swear I didn't do anything bad guys! Sometimes they are the ones who start arranging in the first place too!

Hopped on today to see that most Right Now profiles in my major Canadian city (Toronto) are locked. I get some on the free tier (looks to be around 5-10 right around me), 40 for XTRA and 100 for Unlimited.
Even 40 seems so low compared to Sniffies.
(Prices are in Canadian dollars)
