I wish I knew what video you were referring to. I saw no video. I knew that every time Republicans gather in masses Grindr gets heavier than normal usage and starts experiencing problems. So after the day’s scheduled events were over I went to an outage site that offers location information expecting to find the usual. And I did.
I’m telling you I used historical data to form a hypothesis and found exactly the data I expected. Look at that map again. Notice other major cities like San Francisco known to have large gay populations aren’t having that outage or aren’t having one anywhere close to the same scale? Notice how it started in the last hour of schedules events? Did you know you can go look at the outage data from yesterday and not see the same peak at 8pm local time?
You can get defensive but that doesn’t change how repeatable this is and how if your ideas held any water we would expect to see other indicators that would match your hypothesis. We don’t.

In my first reply I linked a video that explains the problems with the Republicans crash grindr’ meme.
