So, how long until this results in a dump of Grindr account data?

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Hasn't that already happened multiple times?

[–] forrgott@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Fair point lol. Can only imagine this will make it worse, though.

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 19 hours ago

Oh undoubtedly. Especially considering how easily people got the data before

$500? For this?

New AI features include recaps of previous conversations with other users, daily personalised profile recommendations and profile insights to help users identify who they are more likely to be compatible with.

What the absolute fuck is this scam. So glad I ditched dating apps to be miserable and lonely.

None of that seems very valuable to me. Recaps from conversations is presumably not hard to do yourself, you meet someone, talk to someone, you read back to previous messages. Recommendations and insights seem equally worthless, the computer is already recommending users to you, often the ones that paid them money already if they have premium members. Nothing got enshitified more than dating sites, 20 years ago, 15 even, they worked. For free usually. Now they don't. idk grinder but the other ones are all garbage now.

What the fuck. Please sent whoever pays $500 from grindr prem straight to therapy and fix them

Tbh some of them do like to take it up the arse, but not metaphorically, one hopes

Makes sense. The ones who can afford it are the ones who knock out the servers whenever there is a "convention" in town. I meant rich, white, politicians, just to be clear.

What the fuck.
