Dallas Bragg argues that Grindr's algorithm deliberately hooks users on substances and endless scrolling to maximize engagement and profit. He claims the platform turns addicted users into "zombies" funding executive mansions and lavish trips while exploiting their vulnerability.
You need to know the next time you get high on Tina and doom scroll on Grindr, you're doing exactly what they want you to do at Grindr headquarters. They want you to get fucked up and scroll for hours because when you do, you're building their mansions, you're funding their trips, you're padding their wallets. You are a zombie, a mindless sheep doing exactly what they want you to do, and a victim and a pawn of the algorithm.
