A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Seriously, based on what i heard grindr makes it really really really easy to hook up. Like based on what I was told, you can find someone for now.

Now I might be wrong... but I don't think someone looking for a relationship (and 500 bucks per month to spend it like that) will struggle to find someone to date. And if my information is correct, hooking up would be even easier.

So why would someone spend 500bucks per month on that.

Gay people, I need your input. Is my information correct?

Basically there is a small percentage of Grindr users who are full on addicted to the app. Grindr knows this and the last five years or so the company has been fully focused on squeezing them for every penny, even at the expense of losing millions of free users.

Don't take my word for it, here is a Wall Street analyst talking about it with receipts.

Find someone to fuck, relationship is much harder. And you need to be hot. I don't know how the 500 dollars will help unless it's to find someone wanting to be paid. Many times people offered me money and I rejected, so I guess they might have found a market.

And grindr is good to find people to fuck like Facebook is good to find used products. It's shit, it's disgusting and no one would use if not because everyone is only there.

As usual, the users are the product. The software is garbage and they abuse their position as much as they can, just like Facebook.

Oh, and it's not grindr that makes it easy to fuck. Gay people do. Before grindr there were websites, and before that, there were famous parking lots and toilets. We always found ways to have sex with random guys. Straight women are very different.

I think you mostly confirmed my understanding. Thanks for your input.

Take care and stay safe.
