I don't want to be the killjoy here, but I do think this is the kind of too-perfect-to-be-true story one might find out a week later was fake news. I'm holding out for a Snopes entry.

Like remember how it was big news that people weren't buying Corona beer during the early days of the pandemic because they confused the name? Fake news.

Not making a prediction here on this Grindr story, just urging skepticism until it's confirmed.

And if it is true, I'll laugh my ass off.

Update: A little over two months later and I just found the Snopes article. The whole claim started as satire and it seems like folks took it seriously.
