Gay Dating Apps: From Love Connections to Follower Farms

Gay dating apps used to be about meeting people, but now they're filled with profiles pushing OnlyFans or boosting Instagram followers. Instead of genuine connections, it's often just self-promotion, with many guys more focused on their online presence than forming real relationships. It’s like everyone’s creating a highlight reel rather than looking for something real, leaving those genuinely interested in dating scrolling through endless profiles of people more into their own brand than actual connections. Additionally, the superficial nature encouraged by some of these apps can reinforce self-obsession, where users focus primarily on curating and presenting idealized versions of themselves.
