Grindr is trash. It's mostly full of desperate incompatible people (i.e. same sexual position, mostly passives), open couples who just want dopamine hits and other time-wasters. Good luck with offering a $500 sub! You'd actually be better off spending $500/mo on an escort or two. Surely they've realised at that price point, that's a serious competitor
