I hate that Grindr is useful. There are alternatives, but if you live outside a bit city where there aren’t gay bars or LGBT events it’s pretty much the only option for easily meeting other gay guys within reasonable travel distance. They’ve got ABYSMAL privacy practices, and I also don’t like how they used RTO as a bludgeon to interrupt their employees’ attempt to unionize, but it’s where the people are. Network effects are a bitch.
