Gayromeo takes old platform off the net - members have little understanding<\/h1>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n\"\"

 <\/p>\n

For a long time, Gayromeo was one of the most popular sites for gays. People met here - first virtually, then in \"real\". In the course of time, however, the site was revised. The old version was taken offline. Few users are satisfied with the new version. On the contrary! The current ratings on trustpilot.com show that more than 90% (as of 13.04.2020) rate the service as \"insufficient\". A corresponding trend was already evident about two years ago, when both variants were still available. Here, visitors could still choose between \"classic\" and \"new\".<\/p>\n

But what is actually so bad about the new version? What has changed? And what alternatives are likely to become interesting for gays now?<\/p>\n

An overview of the most frequent points of criticism - what is wrong with the new version of Gayromeo?<\/h2>\n

Anyone who changes their website naturally wants to do so for the benefit of their users. But has this really been achieved here? A look at the ratings of the gays suggests that there is a need for improvement here.<\/p>\n

Among the main points of criticism were (and also already at the time of the parallel connection two years ago):<\/p>\n

the user comfort
\nthe new design
\na more difficult search for specific content
\nPartially blurred images
\nthe handling of the app
\nlong scrolling
\n(still?) missing functions on the new site that were available on the old site
\na lack of overview.<\/p>\n

Many critics were long-time Gayromeo users who have accompanied the old site over the years. They can make specific comparisons and thus recognise even better whether - in their opinion - things have been \"made worse\".<\/p>\n

Old vs. new users?<\/h3>\n

In forums, among other things, there is currently resentment about the way the \"old users\" of the site are treated. Users emphasise that they are long-time, paying members who are not being heard with regard to their criticism.<\/p>\n

They complain about the handling and, among other things, about a mix of spam and fake profiles. And again and again: the comparison to the past. Anyone who looks at the ratings of the site and the developments quickly gets the impression that \"new\" does not always have to mean \"better\".<\/p>\n

A few users, however, show little understanding for the critics of the current site. They emphasise the overview of the site and the app and praise the fact that the provider would now obviously target young users.<\/p>\n

An explosive point of contention that has Scene<\/a> currently splits into two camps.<\/p>\n

One thing is certain: both long-time and new users will have to decide for themselves to what extent they can still identify with Gayromeo after the changes and whether it is time to look for alternatives, if necessary.<\/p>\n

These should, of course, offer similarly comprehensive functions and not just come up with a classic gay chat. After all, anyone looking for a new solution should not compare apples with oranges.<\/p>\n

Expectations of Gayromeo were incredibly high and were - according to the ratings on trustpilot<\/a> - probably fulfilled as a rule. Many users appreciated the wide range of offers and felt they were in good hands here. Those who no longer get their money's worth here have corresponding expectations.<\/p>\n

Alternatives to Gayromeo on the rise?<\/h3>\n

For some users, the emotional connection to the platform is probably not enough for them not to look elsewhere. Accordingly, the likelihood is high that in future other sites, such as Planet-Randy.com<\/a> or FlirtBlue.com<\/a> will enjoy even greater popularity.<\/p>\n

Because: these sites offer an appealing mix of different offers and thus belong to Gayromeo's direct competitors. And: they could address important points of criticism with their page design.<\/p>\n

The coming developments are likely to remain exciting and ensure that the gay scene will once again reorient itself.<\/p>\n
