Goose, a New Gay Dating App, Appears to Be a Psyop

Touted as a less-hookup-focused Grindr, Goose is an invite-only space for gay men. The problem is the people promoting it don't seem real. "You're receiving this because you're exactly the type of person we're building this for," the caption reads, accompanied by a code for an invite to a "members only community." The link leads to a login for Goose, a dating and friendship app for gay men with the slogan "for the boys," which allows users to "meet guys through the life you already have," according to its website. Neither does @danielmmulugeta, the cute dark-haired influencer who shared the above caption, with the exact same verbiage, on Close Friends' Stories.
