Tinder attacks their male base with new "call out douchebags" campaign
Only a social justice converged company would go against their paying membership. Tinder wants you not to only pay for their service but talk to women in a way they find appropriate.
The video features a meeting of strong and important female Tinder employees brainstorming ways to modify male behavior.
They bring in a post-wall "douchebag expert" to help them find a "easy and fun" way to call out men who are: (1) "overqualified" at work, (2) tips poorly, (3) uses a bluetooth, (4) is late, (5) goes to the gym, (6) takes shirtless selfies, (7) uses the wrong emoji. If you do anything, Tinder thinks you're a douchebag who deserves to be shamed.
They highlight three men as douchebags, two appear white and one is black. Maybe we can get BLM to go after Tinder for that.

RE: Tinder attacks their male base with new "call out douchebags" campaign
Wow, that Tinder clip was like nails on the chalkboard. Man, was that difficult to watch.
That said, of course online dating will be doing everything they can to appeal to women and cater to their feels. They are outnumbered by the men at least 2:1 and are the true source of value.
Perhaps Tinder's female engagement is lower than it used to be, and this campaign is to try and bring them back?

RE: Tinder attacks their male base with new "call out douchebags" campaign
Most women that crave cock don't really need Tinder. They have plenty of opportuntiies to green-light men in their own social circle.
What pisses off women who use Tinder and similar apps are that they see tons of the most handsome of men (top 10-30% of looks/wealth/status) and are pissed off when they can't lock one of these men down after sleeping with them.
All this female bleating is because too many girls on Tinder are trying to punch above their weight class to secure men who are above them in SMV. This angst is a product of multiple failed attempts to lock down "douchebags" who denied them commitment.
The nerdy, shorter, less-handsome, STEM, lower-income, etc. guys who would love to get a girlfriend (of any quality) aren't getting anything on Tinder. It isn't that women on Tinder don't want boyfriends, they just don't want to be girlfriends to men they consider lower-quality than their own inflated sense of their self-worth.
I stopped using Tinder several years ago and haven't regretted it for a bit. Too many low-qualiity pump and dump victims. I'm looking for LTR/wife search quality women, and they aren't to be found on Tinder. Social circle game is where the highest quality women are to be found.

The ratio is already balanced because most of the men are already invisible to most of the women. You're either "in" or you're "out" in online dating apps. There will always be more thirsty men in the United States and in the West than thirsty women.
There's a huge shortage of young, slim, even mildly attractive women.
There's nothing to balance in the "app" because it is a reflection the average man's extreme lack of dating options unless he's in the top 10-30%. Most men in the United States date down, if they can even get a date at all!
Why do you think that online porn accounts for such a massive chunk of all internet traffic in the United States? It is because it is one of the rare times that many lovelorn beta and omega males will ever get close to a girl of normal weight.
I read a study that the average American chick is now 160+ lbs. The average porn star girl was closer to 120-130lbs. Many, many men are using porn as a stand-in girlfriend. The sexual dynamics are so out of kilter in the USA, that there is nothing to balance, because of the extreme lack of normal-weight women available on the marketplace. The demand is vastly outstripping the supply, hence why women on Tinder have the upper hand for getting cock, but the short end of the shaft (heh) at getting commitment.
That's why relations between the sexes are much happier abroad; Men and women are closer to parity in terms of mate quality.

I agree with what you're saying in this post and what you said in your previous post, all of which is precisely why the dating apps need to do shit like this. Dating apps are inherently more necessary and appealing to men, so the apps have to correct for that by specifically catering to the concerns of women, however dumb they may be. We can jerk off all we want to the idea of a dating app that requests height AND weight, requires full body pics, doesn't ban male users at the drop of a hat, doesn't condescend its male users, etc., but the fact is we wouldn't get laid from such an app because there would hardly be any women to go around.
I see this campaign by Tinder as a business decision rather than a social justice decision.

I didn't bother watching it. If I don't listen to what my girlfriends say when they're attempting to dictate my behaviour, why the fuck would I listen to Progressive Corporate Drones shilling a false lifestyle product to women?
This is the odd thing: Third Wave Feminists were actually much savvier when it came to challenging the false lifestyle depictions sold by the media. They'd see the attempted manipulation. Four Wave Feminists just nod their heads absently like the toy dogs on the parcel shelf of a sedan and swallow every single piece of behaviourally-manipulative bullshit they're fed.
I had no idea who Whitney Cummings was, but, looking her up, being a douchebag has its advantages, because I know I can do better.
Note the predictable false image of her they use to sell her to the masses, and what you'd probably see on Tinder.
When she arrives for the date.

RE: Tinder attacks their male base with new "call out douchebags" campaign
Truth be told, we cannot be mad at Tinder for trying to appease and appeal to their female user base. Lets be honest here, they are the lifeblood of the app. Male users outnumber female users by a large amount and that is no secret whatsoever. This isn't knowledge that only belongs to the educated redpill man, pretty much everybody knows tinder (and all online dating and dating apps in general) is a major cockfest. Even bars and clubs are the same way, though not as extreme as the online counterparts.
So naturally, Tinder is going to side with the feminists and pump out as much videos and tweets and posts and memes as possible to let women know they rock and give them a good laugh at all the weird and creepy loser guys out there.
And sure, it's probably the guys that actually pay for tinder plus/gold (just like how it's the guys that pay for the drinks at bottles at the club) but that is ONLY because there is the (possibility) of girls being available. So in the end, it's the female users that are necessary to keep the app alive.
I say all the power to them. Spin a "you go girl" feminist narrative. Go ahead and make fun of all the guys that aren't 6'2" (ew short guys!), jacked (but not too jacked!), handsome (top 10% only please!), rich (and has to be from an interesting job! Nothing too geeky!), etc.
Anything to bring more girls to the app. I've been having a decent amount of success with tinder lately, 1-2 new girls a month that are 8+ and actually pretty cool. I even pay for tinder gold that's how much I've been liking the app lately. So go ahead and make fun of me, Tinder, just please make sure I keep getting laid
Grant me serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference

RE: Tinder attacks their male base with new "call out douchebags" campaign
With so many women hitting the wall and becoming utterly bitter about becoming sexually invisible it makes sense for Tinder to transition at least partially to a hate-mill.
Titanic hits iceberg? "NOW FEATURING INDOOR SWIMMING POOL!"
In time they can turn the app into a simple program that randomises alpha male suitors but there's no option to swipe right, only left, allowing these sad old hags to at least pretend that their shit is still top notch.

That's what happens when the nuclear family is destroyed and the men a woman interacts with are no longer vetted in any way by the family for suitability as a husband. Of course women who use tinder are going to keep getting played. It's like hundreds of women who still actively use tinder in every city are going ape shit with anti-male propaganda over being played by the same handful of guys. Ridiculous. They think they are entitled to a boyfriend who looks better and is of higher status than them. Insane. There's no way out of this death spiral that western society has entered. The degeneracy all feeds upon itself. It can't go away unless every element contributing to the decline of western society is removed. It's like a multiplying amoeba. The destructiveness goes exponential at some point.
