Remove restriction that non-XL users cannot see all of a members photos
It seems somewhat unethical for Grommr to use others photo content to make money the way they do. The number of restrictions that non-XL users have is pushing many users to Twitter bc the regulation and paywall on grommr is so intense. You have ads on the app for non-XL users, so what is the need to not allow users to see all of another users photos? For a web community that is for a minority community who already finds it hard to find people like them it seems cruel to charge over five dollars per month on the only site available for them. Correct me if I am wrong but it seems the developers for Grommr charge more than they need to keep the site running. I come from a CS background and if things don’t get better I’m considering making my own site because this community deserves a space that is more accessible and equitable for all.

There's also a case to be made that limiting nonXL limits the reach of XL members. One, the TTL on the most recent list is 15 minutes so as an XL member you can post a pic and miss out on the promotional nature of most recent due to the TTL. Two, by limiting to last 25 one selfish user can push other users out of the feed by spam posting pics of their body at minorly different posings. NonXL should be able to go back at least a day in most recent regardless of count and through all of a users pics.
