As an avid Grindr user with the mental illness to show for it, I can say I hate it and can't imagine it actually making money. The ads are fucking awful, unskippable, with tiny "X"s. The subscription service is not worth the money they charge. Just way too expensive for what you get. A lot of anti-user design decisions have been made over the years to push you into buying a subscription. But paying money just to talk to people who refuse to show your face or to get bots and scam accounts messaging you often. It's a big yikes.  


It's very popular in the "culture" so there's that at least. Bankruptcy or dissolution of service is very unlikely.  


With that said, I have about 8 shares at 9$ so I'm just waiting to make my money back at this point. Maybe it goes back to 16 as a pump and cumdump but we will see.

PS. Most of the ads are almost exclusively for shitty app store games. You do also get ads as messages from brands, but those are not very common.
