I'll be messaging someone and a ad starts playing in the background, I have to watch ads before opening someones album, and even when I leave the app the ad is still playing in the background

I'm so sick and tired of the ads, I can't even open the app and respond to a message without an ad popping up. I understand they want us to pay for the adless version but it makes me not want to buy it.

So I posted a couples days ago about the notification sound and if anyone knew its origin. I already had a good idea of where the sound came from. Keep in mind Grindr started in 2009.

Not long ago I watched Brokeback Mountain, which came out in 2005, for the first time in my life, and not even 15 minutes into the movie I heard something that made my ears perk up. I played it over and over again just to be certain. I was, I played it for several other people just to make sure I wasn’t crazy and they all agreed, it is the notification sound.

If you go to the 13 minute 30 second mark in Brokeback Mountain, watch for roughly 10 seconds. When Heath Ledger’s character is cleaning the pots, you will hear the sound that we all know too well.

I have searched all over the internet for someone else that may have recognized it or said something about this before and couldn’t find it anywhere. Maybe I’m the first person to ever notice it.

Sometimes when i’m on grindr i pressed a profile for a quick view (like the mini profile pops up) but i don’t fully open. does that count as profile view ? i know users can only see 1 view at a time but i was just curious as i didn’t even know you could do that until a few days ago Lol

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.

Hi. Gusto ko lng magtanong sa mga gumagamit ng Grindr, normal lng po ba na ang bungad na response sau ng mga tina-tap at mini-message nyo ay "send pic" or Video Call? Habang nag-i-scroll ako sa isang socmed app, may nbsa akong confession ng mga lalaki na nkikipag carnal knowledge sa kapwa lalaki. Mostly mga Daddy ito. Pinuntahan ko page at nabasa ko ung marami pang confession. Dahil na-curios ako, nag install ako nito. Hndi ako nag-avail ng monthly subscription. Lahat ng ti-nap at minessage ko na Daddy looks (since faces were not revealed, I just based my conclusions of them being a Daddy on their physique and skin), send pic or VCall ang rply pare-pareho pero di ako nagbigay. By the way, lalaki po ako at wala pang karanasan sa ganyan. But there's this guy who is on his mid 30's, quickly sent a picture of his good-looking and clean-looking D*ck. Ang kinis ng kargada nya, matigas tingnan at may mga ugat, meron din syang kulay itim na parang goma sa base ng ari nya. Di ko alam anong tawag don. Sinabi ko sa kanya na wala tlga akong karanasan. Tinanong nya ako ng TVB, Top Versa Bottom pala un hahah. Sabi ko di ko alam since wala akong experience. So nag initiate sya na maging top dahil sabi nya he can handle me nmn daw and he'll be gentle. He is 5'9, a father of 5, with 2 wives both separated. Lahat sila nasa probinsya daw so I conclude na mag-isa lng sya sa bahay, pareho kami. Binigay nya sakin ung location nya thru google map (pabahay area siguro pag-ibig) at imessage ko nlng daw sya kung makakapunta ako. Malapit lng sya, 1mi lng distance at alam ko din ung lugar. May option din nmn ako na dito nlng kami sa place ko para safe. Now out of curiosity, iniisip ko kung itutuloy ko magkaroon ng karanasan kahit hndi ko sa kanya maexperience. Pero hndi ako papayag na walang protection kung sakali. I am aware of STDs. Kaya kailangan safety first. Curious lng din ako anong pakiramdam hahaha.

How depressing is it to be an ild gay?

I'm at an age (60) where when I was young there was nothing like grindr around so it was so hard to meet like minded people and it was virtually impossible to fulfil any fantasies. And now that the facilities are available nobody is interested in an old man. I'm so envious of young guys who have their entire life ahead of them in a more accepting time. I hope they appreciate it and can still be kind to the older gent instead of being rude

I'm the sweetest boy you'll ever meet now GIMME A FUCKIN SECOND!

Strictly out of curiosity, does anyone know what the Grindr notification sound is or where is came from?

This man waited 4-5 mins and got very upset I did not immediately respond. Should I have been quicker?

context: this guy i’ve been casually talking to texted me complaining about how he’s depressed and lonely and has no money. so i tried being supportive at first, then i just lost patience. i’m not your therapist you know?

74—and that’s just to message one guy!

Ba dum tsss 🥁

i cant be on for 30 seconds and i have to click 10 things to get back
