    I’ve gotten a disturbing number of messages on grindr from men that are hard core right wing, yet are on a gay dating app. The level of hate, ignorance, and cognitive dissonance is unprecedented. And it’s all fueled by highly addictive apps, and pumped at unimaginable scales thanks to AI.

    I hate to say it, but I think this really is the end.

        I’m confused. Are you implying I’m a hateful conservative? Or that by virtue of being in this space, I’m attracting hateful conservatives to me?
