While some people are making 2018 pledges to finally give versatility a try, they're launching a new pledge for their users and asking them to stop being dicks and just swipe left. After all, what's the point of matching with someone you're not into, right?
As part of the pledge, Chappy brought together 16 gay men for a video that isn't a porno.
