The same people they're forcing to move cross country or be laid off?
That just means they'll get laid like the other 75% of grinder
Lol. I bet they did.
Sounds good to me. Any app that helps you find like minded folk can be used a variety of ways. It's a little funny to read but not a big surprise.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
"Hookups and dates probably," Alexis, a 26-year-old consultant and content creator who used Grindr a few years ago, told Insider.
Grindr told Insider about 25% of its users reported using the app to network, despite the reputation for instant hookups associated with the company since the early years of its founding.
In the video, Alexis shares ways where you might be able to use the app for finding a roommate, meeting friends, and networking.
Alexis told Insider that he was able to find a fitness mentor and a freelance opportunity when he was on the app.
"I feel like a lot of gay men make friends through Grindr in that way and to some degree, 'network' with the app without really the intention of networking."
But he believes that any platform — whether it's X, Instagram, or a dating app — has the potential to create connections users might not initially expect.

Mentioned X and Instagram but not Lemmy? Cmon!
Trust me, you don’t want people to find out about Lemmy. That’s how you get Facebook.
Unfortunately, that's unrealistic at this stage. It's kind of a good thing we're not at that level yet.
Okay but they are definitely hooking up first. I have a hard time believing the app with built in dick pic sharing features and reputation for being useless for dating has people being like "hey QT you have any jobs?"
hired people through the app
Dare I ask what the interview process was
No, no, the other grind!
