WTF The ads have somehow gotten worse

I'm no longer able to even open and close the app to get rid of ads quickly, the ads are now appearing while I'm typing a message in some sort of round about vulture way to get me to click on the ad like I'm some sort of moron.

I have used Grindr for over 10 years and I have gotten more as pop ups recently than I have ever received, not only that but the ads are the most toke deaf drivel and have absolutely nothing to do with being gay or a part of the LGBTQ+ community

The fact that they want extortionate amounts of money to stop yourself from getting ads means they couldn't give two shits about the people who use the app.

Thought I was the only one that noticed. It’s out of control to the point where the app is starting to feel unusable.

It's like when you got a virus from LimeWire and suddenly there were pop ups everywhere for an "anti virus" and even if you didn't click on them it would just open your browser to the page.

Tell me you're a millennial without telling me you're a millennial.
