Tinder went on a Twitter rant over Vanity Fair article

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

It's disappointing that @VanityFair thought that the tiny number of people you found for your article represent our entire global userbase ??

@Tinder not clear: are you suggesting journalists need your okay to write about you?

This will be a case study in how not to respond to negative media in future #PR classes. https://t.co/kjJ5wPVA7J
