Self-inflicted disaster
Many moons ago I was a daily user of Gaydar, then they ruined it. Changed the entire interface into something hideous and unusable and lost 95% of their visitors overnight.
In all my time as an internet user, I don’t think I’ve seen such a disastrous, self-inflicted destruction of a fully functioning and popular website.
They must know the horrendous mistake they made, so it baffles me why they don’t accept defeat and go back to the original format. Crazy.
It seems the equivalent of a swingers’ club stopping people from having sex, but expecting its client to go there anyway because they still serve orange juice
They had a perfectly usable and enjoyable website, then all of a sudden they ounts of user data, removing functionalities, breaking the ones which remained, and making it unusable from an interface point of view too.
On top of that, the whole business model was erased: from being a website which made it easy to find hookups, it became a generic “gay dating” site without any direction. They even tried to actively discourage sex by removing themed rooms in the chat. Eventually some of those rooms were recreated, but the whole experience has been extremely sanitised. The few functionalities that are still present now work, which is hardly a unique selling point.
Membership fees of people who had recently joined, unaware of the imminent self destruction were not returned.They kept on asking what people wanted, only to ignore the immense majority telling them to bring the old website back – so they can’t even pretend they didn’t know what was going on.
Website: I am not sure how they managed to break page elements which have been working flawlessly since browsers were invented: scroll bars, appear and disappear for no reason, scrolling down page using space bar works intermittently, update password in browser doesn’t work either and once you changed it, it has to be typed in manually forever. I honestly wouldn’t know where to start to interfere with a browser functionality to break it, so in a way it can be considered an achievement?
Android app is shockingly citas livejasmin bad, as its consistently low score in google’s app store confirms. The average is still somehow acceptable because of the many ratings before the website’s self destruction in 2017 – and a greatly reduced number of download means fewer people rate it down.
I downloaded it out of curiosity, and uninstalled it after seeing that every profile had a picture count of 1 ( 1 / 1 ), only to show more pics and the correct profile picture count ( 1 / x ) after swiping down. Shocking.
The website and android app ( from the apple app store rating I can assume the iOS app too ) should be open sourced and used to teach junior coders how not to do things, and fixing them to a usable degree could be a good exercise for students.
In 2018 GAYDAR came under new management who are committed to updating and upgrading the product across all 3 platforms.
The website, Android and iOS Apps are all seeing new developments, functions and features being written. New VIP Search features, the Travel Tab and updated Profile views are being released.
