  It’s rude but I wouldn’t call it “messed up”, that’s a bit much imo

    Why? It is messed up. It costs you nothing to say that and saves the other person weeks of wondering what the hell happened, what they did wrong etc. Ultimately it means you used the other person as a means to an end - getting rid of boredom - instead of actually interacting and treating them like a human. And then you discarded them the second it got boring to you - without even saying a “goodbye”.

    Ghosting is always messed up, no matter the circumstances.

      That would be a fair assessment if someone presents you with the two choices and you choose to ghost. But often what happens is that you just completely forget that the app existed. The question of cost never even comes into play.

        Okay, whatever. This post talks about a dude getting bored and uninstalling the app, not forgetting about it existing.
