​Hinder, the App Idea That Could Put Tinder Out of Business

Reddit is known for its somewhat bizarre corners which show that people are not afraid to speak their mind, but at the end of the day, the Internet itself can be a weird place. So some of the findings from the online environment and social platforms, in particular, should not take us by surprise anymore.

Recently, a creative Reddit user has come up with an app idea which, if put into practice, could have some disastrous consequences on the app that is currently controlling the dating scene.

With more and more celebrities like Leonardo DiCaprio or Hillary Duff joining in, Tinder has become the one of the best startups, with an increasingly large number of users swiping their way to finding a soulmate.

However, Tinder is in for some difficult times if Hinder, the Reddit user’s idea of an app, is brought to life. Just as its name might suggest it, the app in question is meant to prevent Tinder users from hooking up.

Probably a bitter Tinder user, efilnekufesin, the person who thought of this cruel scheme, unsurprisingly managed to get a lot of attention from other users who, unconvinced by the efficiency of the dating app, actually thought that Hinder would make a perfect stumbling block for Tinderers.

All that is needed for the Hinder app to run smoothly is a third-wheeler to show up on the users’ first date and mess things up for the pair.

The idea was well received by most commenters

Hinder enthusiasts even took the effort to write some possible scripts on how such an encounter could take place and how the Hinderer could end up ruining their shots at finding a companion.

Since the idea was kindly welcomed by most Redditers, this proves that there are a lot of people willing to show up at Tinder meet-ups with the sole purpose of making sure that hook-ups are unsuccessful.

Well, for the sake of future Tinder couples, let’s just hope that this ruthless yet innovative idea doesn't leave this stage, and that the Reddit user is not actually planning on messing with other people’s odds of finding their true love using the dating app.
