Tinder went on a Twitter rant over Vanity Fair article
NEWSWATCH: When Vanity Fair published an article in its September issue about dating apps, Tinder obviously didn't take it very well, and took to Twitter to have its say...

The article written by Nancy Jo Sales, titled "Tinder and the Dawn of the Dating Apocalypse" explores the online relationships young people are having, and how it is affecting their social and relationship skills in 'real life'.
"People used to meet their partners through proximity, through family and friends, but now Internet meeting is surpassing every other form," the article claims. Sales says that Tinder has caused the youth to use the app as an easy way to "hook-up".
Tinder went on a complete rant, which many are calling a meltdown, and caused a massive tweetstorm on the social network. Like all things of this nature, the Twitter universe has exploded.
Here's what Tinder and others in the Twittersphere are saying...
Hey @nancyjosales - that survey is incorrect. If you're interested in having a factual conversation, we're here. https://t.co/SLWlTLvJuf
