Pokémon Go Is Already MORE Popular Than Tinder

Instead of swiping on our phones in the hopes of getting some this weekend, we were all far more interested in an app called Pokémon Go. It's sending video game nerds out into the wild — and sometimes other people's private property — to catch Pokémon.

It's also, according to SimilarWeb, already more popular than Tinder. Five percent of Android users have downloaded the app; Tinder, on the other hand, is only on 2 percent of Androids. The app has also, funnily enough, overtaken Twitter — which is installed on 3 percent of Androids — in popularity. There is no reliable data for iPhone activity yet, but it's been no. 1 on the App Store charts for days.

Of course, Pokémon Go is a new app, so although it has more downloads than Tinder, we can't really judge which app is more popular unless we compare daily active users, so we'll have to wait for the Pokémon Go craze to slow its course before we can see how many users it'll retain. People can't aimlessly wander around their town looking for Pokémon forever. Remember when we all downloaded Peach and then none of us used it? If you don't, you're further proving my point.

A conclusion we could draw from this is that people are far more captivated by Pokémon than the possibility of doing sex things, which is, TBH, understandable. I mean, when's the last time Tinder ~actually~ got you laid? Luckily, according to Gizmodo, Pokémon Go seems to be getting people laid anyway. Mazel tov!
