In 2013, it created a community for HIV-positive users called &#8220;<strong><em>Poz<\/em><\/strong>&#8220;, and in 2015 it released its Version 5, which included new communities, relationship types, gender preferences, and safety practices.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In 2018, security, privacy, and especially concern about dubious advertising led the app to not use third-party programmatic ads such as banners, especially in regions or countries where homophobia is still widespread, creating a subscription-based revenue model. and direct advertising. In the same year, SCRUFF removed the option \u201cinformation about race or ethnicity\u201d from the search system to avoid harassment. CEO Eric Silverberg said the decision will help the company &#8220;ensure that harassment, racism and abuse don&#8217;t happen.&#8221; And in 2021, it launched the verification tool with the aim of creating an even safer space for its members.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In the United States, SCRUFF launched a live Q&amp;A <em>game show<\/em> called \u201c<strong><em>Hosting<\/em><\/strong>\u201d in March 2019. Users compete for cash prizes by answering LGBTQIA+ themed history and pop culture questions, and simultaneously can continue to see and send \u201c<strong><em>Woof<\/em><\/strong>\u201d notifications to other players.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In Brazil, since 2018, SCRUFF actively participates in events of the scene, publicizing the app&#8217;s agenda, supporting and sponsoring, in addition to holding proprietary events, such as the show <a href=\"http:\/\/gay.blog.br\/?s=Curta+Woofs\"><strong><em>short film Woofs<\/em><\/strong><\/a>, which in its first edition, in March 2021, made eight Brazilian productions with LGBT+ themes available for free on the app\u2019s Instagram, curated by <a href=\"http:\/\/gay.blog.br\/?s=andr%C3%A9+fischer\">Andr\u00e9 Fischer<\/a>, founder of the MixBrasil Festival and responsible for the Cultural Center of Diversity, with films that mix sexuality, aesthetic languages and groups, produced by Brazil from north to south, bringing different aspects of the daily life of Brazilian gay men.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Believing that information is essential to combat prejudices, issues relevant to the community, and society as a whole, he also sees the production of news aimed at the LGBT public as a great tool of empowerment and occupation in the media for the community and, since 2019, brings daily news through the <a href=\"https:\/\/gay.blog.br\/\">Gay Blog BR<\/a>.
