This came up in conversation with a friend and neither of us really knew the answer. My main concern is getting burned by sketchy platforms. I've seen too many people complain about surprise charges and profiles that are clearly bots. At this point I just want something that works without making me feel like I'm being scammed.
- Look for active profiles with recent login timestamps
- Check if the platform has real ID or email verification
- Read third-party reviews before entering payment info
- Start on the free tier to test member quality before upgrading
