Article explains it:
They hired a rightwingers as CEO, and even if he changed his mind on social policy, he's still obviously a Republican on fiscal.
This is a way to get rid of highly paid people since the labor pool for tech ballooned after twitter fired everyone.
He's hoping for a short dip, then replacing everyone for cheaper salaries.
Jesus. The CEO of Grindr is a supporter of homophobes. We truly are in the worst timeline.
He googled "how to fuck the gays" and grindr was the top result.
Yep. Grinder is a trash company now. I think it was even owned by a company in China for a while, which is just weird.

That’s one of the older tricks, no pun intended. It used to be that you’d have a hard time getting a security clearance if you were gay, with the excuse being that you were vulnerable to blackmail. It’s less of a big deal now, but I can think of a wide class of politicians who would still be vulnerable to blackmail, and grindr is a very popular app during political conventions.
Yeah that seems reasonable. RTO is quite a powerful/interesting tool for these employers
